Default Calling subroutine defined in another workbook (autostart workbook)

Hi,

I have a subroutine defined in my auto start workbook, which is named
MyMacros.xls:

MyMacros.xls:

Option Explicit

Sub TestMsg()
MsgBox "Test Message"
End Sub

I want to run this macro whenever the save event runs in another
workbook, say temp.xls:

Temp.xls:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As
Boolean)
Application.Run "MyMacros.xls!TestMsg"
End Sub

This doesn't work. I get the error message:

The macro 'MyMacros.xls!TestMsg' cannot be found. I'm positive
MyMacros.xls is open (even if the workbook is hidden). Alt-F11 shows
MyMacros.xls is open and the TestMsg module is defined.

How can I call the TestMsg sub-routine whenever I click Save in
another workbook?

Thanks,
Scott
