I'm using Excel 2003 with SP2. The Workbook_Open() does not work. For
example, the following macro will work if you run it manually in the VB
editor, but will not run when the workbook opens. None of my Workbook_Open()
macros work. The macro is placed in the ThisWorkbook object. Can anyone
help me?

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
MsgBox Date
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value = Date
End Sub

works fine for me -- are you sure you have Application.EnableEvents set to
True?

And is it located in the Thisworkbook module ?

Bob,
I do have application.enable =true. I believe it's a problem with Excel
2003 because it will work with Excel 2000 no problem. Any other ideas?
