No, the "codesheet" is not the same as a macro. A macro is placed in a
Module (Insert/Module from the VB editor's menu bar) whereas event code
(which is what the Workbook_Open procedure is) goes on a "codesheet"... in
this case, the codesheet for the workbook (because it is **workbook** event
code). When in the VB editor, look at the Project Window (it is the one with
Sheet1, Sheet1 and other stuff in it). Do you see the entry marked
ThisWorkbook? Double click it. That should have opened up the codesheet for
the workbook... copy/paste the Workbook_Open code procedure into it. Next,
save your workbook. That's it... next time you open the workbook, the
Workbook_Open code you just copy/pasted should run (assuming you have
enabled macros to run, that is).

Use this simple event code, just remember to insert it into the

Thnaks Rick - Think I have got it now, *one last question how do I
keep the "main" workbook open and the others are open but as tabs at
the bottom, *just right now the last workbook in the list that is
opened is the one that is presented in Excel and the others including
the "main sheet" are open as Tabs.

Many thanks for your time. *Johhny

workbook list and it goes there after the others have also loaded
