Default How to register an event handler when excel opens

Code would have to be in a workbook that is opened when Excel opens.
Choices would be

Personal.xls
an addin that will be loaded
Other workbook in the xlstart directory.

Then the workbook_Open event would have to trigger the code you have
written.

If Excel is opened programmatically via automation, non of these files would
be loaded by default.

To establish this environment, you would need the user to run some type of
install routine.

I have code to register my class module what I need to do is cause this
code to execute when Excel starts up sort of like a autoexec.

Folks,

I have written an event handler to to validate the work book name

before
saving a work book. Ineed to know what code do I have to write to

have
the
event handler register itself when Excel starts.

Also is there some install procedure where I can move my code and

user
from into the personal.xls in the XLSStart directory? I can do it by

hand
but that is a pain.

Thanks,
