I have created an Excel template that has a macro that
needs to run when the new spreadsheet is created. The
only way I could get to run was to place the code in the
the ThisWorkbook object using this subroutine Sub
Workbook_Open(). However, I only want this macro to run
when the spreadsheet is first created, not everytime it
opens. What should I be using to accomplish this? Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Go into VBA into the ThisWorkBook object. Create a macro
that reads the sheet names each time there is a sheet
change. Sheet change is a resever function available in
the drop downs. If there is a new sheet name call the
macro in an IF statement.

Thanks,

Greg

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
if Thisworkbook.Path = "" then
' workbook has not yet been saved
' run you code here
end if
End Sub
