Hi,
Alt+F11 to open VB editor. Double click 'This Workbook' and paste this in on the right Private Sub Workbook_Open() response = MsgBox("Hello World", vbOKOnly, "My Welcome message") End Sub Mike "twiftshoeblade" wrote: I would like to make a message appear in the form of a pop-up, like an input or error message, whenever a workbook is opened. |

Thanks to both Mike H and Bob Umlas... exactly the result I was seeking.
My target audience, however, is likely to disable macros upon opening the workbook... anyway to disable that warning? "Mike H" wrote: Hi, Alt+F11 to open VB editor.

There are t ways around it. One is to have your users set their macro
security to low. The down side is that if a workbook contains a virus then they will open it without warning and get infected. A better option is to digitally sign your work. That makes your work into a trusted source and the book can open without need for the macro security alert... Check out this link... http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/he...495551033.aspx -- HTH...
