In the VBA editor right click on workbook and 'view code' change the right
hand box to say open and add the following:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

MsgBox "Your text here", vbOKOnly, "Title"

End Sub

When I open a workbook I would like a dialog box that has a message that
opens on the screen and the user has to click the ok button to clear the

Thanks in advance
