Thanks for that suggestion. So I record an Open workbook macro and then
copy that code to personal.xls?

Wait. I think it is starting to come back to me. In the XLstart folder -
do I put something in there?

What is the personal xls file?

Thanks.

Greetings,

How do I add a subroutine at the application level?

Example: When I start up Excel I want to have it bring up a messagebox that
says "test"

I can see in the VB editor how to do this at the workbook level in the
workbook open event. But I need to do this at the application level.

Thanks.
