Default Workbook_Open ()

I'm using Excel97 and have trouble with Workbook_Open().

Within the module "ThisWorkbook" I have the following three event handler calls:

Option Explicit

Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
Call AddButtons
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate()
Call DeleteButtons
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
MsgBox "Workbook_Open Called"
Call AddButtons
End Sub

The Activate and Deactivate events work properly. If I have multiple workbooks
open, whenever this particular workbook is selected from the Window menu, the
code is called and executes as one would expect.

The Workbook_Open event never seems to get called. I open Excel, and then from
the File menu open this workbook, but the code never gets called. Originally it
did not have the MsgBox statement, but I added that for debug and it never gets
called either.

Am I doing something wrong? Is this a known bug in Excel97? It seems like I've
reduced the problem to such a simple example that it *must* work, but it doesn't.

Thanks...

Bill
