This needs to be put in the ThisWorkbook module.

Hi

Thanks for that, I've put this into a module, when I run it, all works fine,
but when I open my spreadsheet, nothing happens, is there something else I
need to do?

That's what Don was saying.........are you sure you put it in the
"ThisWorkbook" module?
Right-click on a Tab, ViewCode then double-click on the "ThisWorkbook"
module and paste in the right hand window.

That worked fine, thanks. I'd put it in the right place but when I called my
macro I forgot to put Sheet1 before the name!

Spoke to soon, the macro that starts running opens another workbook, this now
tries to run the job again when it opens, do you know how I ensure that this
'on open' only works for the current workbook?

Right-clicking on a sheet tab and "view code" only gives you Worksheet module.

Best to right-click on the Excel logo left of "File" on menu and "View Code".

This opens the Thisworkbook module.

I have looked throught this thread for an issue that I have come across. It
doe snot resolve it, but this looks like the right area.

I have a set of macros that I want to fire off in a single workbook. This
works perfectly. However ...

I am adding a menu item that allows me to run one particular macro when an
editing process is completed. This menu item appears in all workbooks after
that. I want the macro to cleanup after the end user closes the workbook.

I have a deletemenu sub that will do this, but I am struggling on how to get
it to fire off.

This group is awesome! I have had very good responses to date!

Maybe you could use the workbook_beforeclose event (in the ThisWorkbook module)
or you could use the Auto_Close procedure in a General module.

Generally you create the menu item in Workbook_Open event then delete the
menu item in Workbook_BeforeClose event

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'add the menu item
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
'delete the menu item
End Sub

If more than one workbook could be open with this workbook and you wanted
the menu only for the one workbook when it is active, you would also have to
allow for switching books without closing.

Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate()
hide or delete menu item
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
show or re-create menu item
End Sub

Adding and Managing Menu Bars and Menu Items(Office)
