Hi oxicottin

No, if you want that you must create a userform and open that when your workbook start.
What do you want to do, splash screen ?

Hi oxicottin

Alt F11 to open the editor
To be sure you see all windows press one time Ctrl-R and F7

Double click on the ThisWorkbook module on the left in the project window
If you not see it click on the + before the project/file name

Then paste this in the code window

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
MsgBox "Hi"
End Sub

Then use Alt q to close the editor
Save/close and reopen the file now
