I'm trying to get a message box to pop up when my workbook is opened. I found
this macro structure in a previous post:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

MsgBox (" text ")

End Sub

If I click the little "play" button in VB Editor it pops up the box, but if
I close the workbook and re-open it, I don't get the message box. Am I
missing something? Thanks much in advance!

Hi JaimeZX

You must copy this event in the Thisworkbook module and not in a normal module
