Default Workbook Sharing

Hi Dave,

I've tried setting up workbooks where the first sheet is an instruction
sheet, but these folks won't go to the trouble of looking at it.

What I need is some sort of pop-up prompt to do certain things when they're
working with this workbook.

Thanks - good suggestion and I have tried it. Not only are these folks not
very computer literate, they fight me every step of the way to get them
educated. They won't even use the Help button - they'd rather ask me.

Just a suggestion.

I'd create a new worksheet that's an instruction/checklist sheet. Then the
users can print it and use it while working. After a bit of time, they may not
have to have the hardcopy and they'll just look at that sheet when they need it.

My work group have several people that use the same workbooks on a shared
server.

On some of these workbooks I'd like program a reminder about certain tasks
that need to be done when working with worksheets within the workbook.

What would be the easiest way to do this for a group of people who are not
very computer savvy? I'm way ahead of them and I don't know that much.

Would I use some kind of macro to begin as soon as the workbook is opened?

Thanks.--
Sheryl
