Using excel 2003 vba
When I open a workbook I want it to display a message from itself
This will be the first and only workbook user will see

Public Sub workbook_open()
MsgBox "hello"
End Sub

Is this possible?
By the way the above code does not work
If I solve this the rest of my code will be fine
