Open or Show a Message Box on open...
How do you show a message box when you open an excel file? I've done this
before I just can't remember how. Thanks, Chris |

Chris, something like this
Private Sub Workbook_Open() MsgBox "workbook is open" End Sub To put in this macro, from your workbook right-click the workbook's icon and pick View Code. This icon is to the left of the "File" menu this will open the VBA editor, in the left hand window double click on thisworkbook, under your workbook name, and paste the code in the window that opens on the right hand side, press Alt and Q to close this window and go back to your workbook, now this will run every time you open the workbook. If you are using excel 2000 or newer you may have to change the macro security settings to get the macro to run. -- Paul B Always backup your data before trying something new Please post any response to the newsgroups so others can benefit from it Feedback on answers is always appreciated!
