error msg on opening excel workbook
 

I get an error msg when opening an Excel workbook that reads like this:

"Cannot find #REF!$B$1, which has been assigned to run each time
[WorkbookName]TabName is opened. Continuing could cause errors. Cancel
opening [WorkbookName]TabName?"

I have looked at macros, right clicked on the tab name and selected view
code, right clicked on the Excel icon to the left of 'File' on the toolbar
and selected view code, and I don't see any macro or code.

Thanks for your help.
