Did you place the code in ThisWorkbook?

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
MsgBox "Hi Paul"
End Sub

The above works on my machine. I get a nice warm greeting everytime I open
that workbook

I need to display a custom menu when a particular workbook is open. I
am using VBA code that is right out of a book on Excel and VBA. The
code is as follows: Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Call AddMenu 'This runs the AddMenu macro.
End Sub

It is not working and I have spent way too much time on it. I think
what needs to happen is to find a way to identify the specific
workbook object so the Workbook_Open sub will know to run but I am not
figuring out how to write this code. Thanks in advance for the help.
This is a great group and I hope to get good enough at macros to start
contributing myself.
