Default auto-open macro lost within workbook

A few years back, I built a large XL97 spreadsheet which includes a
macro called "CreateMenu" that inserts a custom pull-down item in the
menu bar. The macro runs and creates the menu items when the file is
opened, and runs again when the file is closed. I've used this macro on
several workbooks, and in every other case I can find a macro named
"CreateMenu()" as a step in the AutoOpen macro and a macro named
"DeleteMenu()" as a step in the AutoClose macro.

I want to revise the menu items on this large XL97 spreadsheet, but I
can't find the macro. There is no reference to the a menu macro in the
AutoClose macro, and there is no AutoOpen macro that I can see. Somehow
the access to those macros seems to have gotten lost as the file has
migrated from machine to machine to machine with each upgrade. I also
can't find any links to any other workbooks. There are no worksheets,
columns or workbooks to "unhide." I figure that if I can find the
AutoOpen macro, it would should me the link to the menu creation macro.

any ideas of where it might be hinding?
