I don't think you can do this with just a macro cause you have to have
something that triggers the event.

In the Visual Basic Editor when you enter a new module, you can select for
"Workbook" and then on the right drop down box you will see a list of
events... like On Open and such.

There you can add some code that gets triggered when the file is open.

I'm looking to create a macro ( preferably using the macro recorder rather
than by VB code) that will refresh my database query upon opening the
worksheet.

Is this possible or just a pipe dream. I'm not adept at VB coding so that's
why the preference for the macro recorder.

Thanks in advance for any help, hints, or clues.
