I am reading a book on Excel 2003 VBA programming. It gives a short
synopsis on how to set up the code for the workbook_open macro but
doesn't really go into how to do it. Can anyone help me with this? I
am using Excel 2007. I plan on writing the code on a Vista OS and
implementing it in an XP environment.

Thanks.
R. Tanner

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

'your code here

End Sub

'This is workbook event code.
'To input this code, right click on the Excel icon on the worksheet
'(or next to the File menu if you maximise your workbooks),
'select View Code from the menu, and paste the code

Hi Robin,

Bob has shown you an empty
Workbook_Open template, ready to
receive your code; he has also told you
where to place the procedure and has
given you explicit instructions on how to
locate the ThisWorkbook module.

See the following link to the NG archives
for many thousands of examples of code
for Workbook_Open event procedures:

For an authorative overview of event
procedures, do not fail to visit Chip Pearson's
events page at:
