I need to call an application event from a standard module, the
difference here is that it needs to be called each time a new workbook
is opened.

This has been developed as an addin so that any user can install the
application with little or no effort.

Initially the code was located in the standard module and any automatic
procedures called from ThisWorkbook's Workbook_open event. The code
basically builds a custom menu, amongst other things, which checks
certain conditions within a workbook and then disables part of the
custom menu should these conditions be true.

I need this code to be run whenever a workbook is opened, hence
application level events - my problem is that workbook_open events are
not available on the standard module as far as I know.

Am I going about this the right way or are there any alternatives?

I hope this is clear.

Thanks in advance

T.
