Hi
how do i show a userform uponopening an excel workbook? Can it be done?
Regards

Two ways I know of:

'no prompt will appear about enabling macros
Sub auto_open()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub

'a prompt will appear
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Userform1.show
End sub

this is the workbook open event and is fired when the workbook is opened.
It must be located in the thisworkbook module

See Chip Pearson's page on events for an overview if your are not familiar:

That is incorrect.
Either one would cause a prompt for enabling macros if either caused a
prompt.

Quite right Tom: I should have tested that before putting finger to
keyboard.
(Was that the case in earlier versions of Excel? How do you get a macro
to fire without a prompt?)
