Basic Macro Question

[Matty2470]

I want to put some macro to run when excel opens.

How do I do this. Where is the on open property for the worbook?

Sorry to trouble you with this question

Hiya,

I'm not 100% sure on this because I've got a weird Network installation of Excel and cannot get my personal.xls to work, but try putting the code you want to run in the ThisWorkbook bit of your personal.xls, i.e.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
MsgBox ("Excel has Started!")
End Sub

(The personal.xls will reside somewhere like C:program filesmicrosoft officexlstart)

Hi
I think if you name the macro Auto_Open, it will run when the book is opened...
If no, right-click on the Excel icon in the upper left of your screen and choose view code. This is the workbook code class modul.
Two dropdowns at the top of the page.
The one on the left needs to say workbook,
choose Workbook open on the right.
Call your macro from the sub by typing in the macro name or typing:
Call MacroName

Right click your sheet tabs and select View Code. On the left hand side of the VBA screen, double click This Workbook

From the two dropdown boxes above the blank VB page choose Workbook from the left one and Open from the right one
