You could add the code to Workbook_Open, it will then automatically run when
you open the workbook


Private Sub Workbook_Open()

End Sub

'This is workbook event code.
'To input this code, right click on the Excel icon on the worksheet
'(or next to the File menu if you maximise your workbooks),
'select View Code from the menu, and paste the code

For example, I want to open the spreadsheet W.xls, and run the macro x()

I really want a string that looks something like

C:\Spreadsheets\W.xls #x#

That will open W.xls then run x()

Is this possible?
