    The first part is a file name. So you could search your pc for the file.
    I presume it is being loaded as part of something else. I'll ask elsewhere

    Oct3-REVISE.xlsb is indeed a file name, and the xlsb indicates that it's a binary workbook. I'm guessing it's being loaded at startup. If you have Windows Vista or later look in
    C:\Users\<your Windows username here>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART and see if the file is there. If so, it will load automatically when Excel starts.

    I just open 1 workbook and that workbook named: Oct3-REVISE.xlsb

    SOMETIMES, when I will [view my macros] there are 'Oct3-REVISE.xlsb'![MACRO_NAME] but SOMETIMES they are gone.

    Is there something wrong with my macro or to my workbook?
    My workbook: I'm using FORM CONTROL [BUTTONS] to call macro and every buttons got different macro.

    Did you check that path that I suggested to see what's in it? If not do you know where Oct3-REVISE.xlsb is located? If not have you tried to search your hard drive for it?

    Aside from what macros appear in the macro list, have you checked to see whether that file is loading as a hidden file?

    You list several versions of Excel. Which one is this happening in?

    Aside from all this, is it actually causing you any problems? I see nothing to worry about except the annoyance of having a file unintentionally open, which can be fixed. This has nothing to do with the macros you have written yourself, and shouldn't cause any problems. However, if any code actually calls this Sub, it will look for all the buttons in Sheet41, Sheet3, and Sheet2 (if they exist) in the active workbook and if their names start with btn or vbtn it will make them invisible. This reads like a very special-purpose Sub written for a specific workbook, rather than a general-purpose utility. It won't be called unintentionally by your code.

    No, I doesn't located my file on that path because my computer is not a user admin (I don't own this computer). But that file name is the one I am using right now. My workbook named. I am using MS Excel 2010 and I don't hide any of my workbook. It doesn't cause any problems at all. And yet it works fine just a little being annoyed on that name. - Thanks by the way checking my codes.

    When you have the file loaded in excel goto the VBA screen ALT+F11 then in the immediate window paste this :
    debug.print workbooks("Oct3-REVISE.xlsb").Path and press enter

    Note: if you don't see the immediate window go to the View window and select it.

    This is where it should go. Executing this code may help you find out where the file is located. But at the end of the day only you are going to be able to find out what the file is for.
