I would like to automatically run a specific maco when the workbook is opened.
I am running XP Pro with Office XP.
Thanks for all help.

Two ways:
One way: Name your macro "Auto_Open".
Another way: Use a Workbook_Open event macro.
Please post back if you need more. HTH Otto

Thank you both for the help. Otto, I named the macro as you suggested and
it worked fine. I did try the Private sub Workbook_open, but I must have
done something wrong, since the macro did not fun.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
ans = MsgBox("workbook_open worked")
End Sub
did not open for me.

Hi OlieH.........
Glad you got it sorted for your use..........
BTW, this version works fine if put in the WorkbookModule

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
MsgBox "Workbook Open, worked"
End Sub

Chuck, thanks for the post. I must be dense, but I created a macro, renamed
it (from macro1) to
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
msgbox "Workbook opened"
Stop
End Sub
This did not execute when I opened the workbook. I am using the Auto_Open,
but I do want to understand your method. THanks again. Olie

Make sure the workbook_Open procedure is in the ThisWorkbook module.

Or leave it in a general module, but name it Auto_Open.

You need to put the macro in the workbook's ThisWorkbook code module.

It's academic at this point since Otto's suggestion is working for
you......but just to close the loop as you requested,......... for purposes
of this method, there is no need to rename the macro.....leave it as Macro1,
or whatever unique name you wish, just NOT "Workbook_Open", and this macro is
left in a regular module.

Then the code to place in the "ThisWorkbook" module is as follows......

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Call Macro1
End Sub

Thereby, as the file is opened, this macro triggers and automatically
triggers Macro1. You can add lines to run other macros there also if you
wish....such as

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Call Macro1
Call Macro2
Call Macro3
End Sub
