I have a problem with having 2 macros in the same ThisWorksheet code area. I
have a macro that logs who opened my workbook and one that on open selects
the first sheet i specified. My problem is it only opens the first macro.
When i change the second macro to Workbook_Open it says i can't have 2 of the
same arguements. Is there a way to write this so they both open with no
conflicts?

Option Explicit

Sub Workbook_Open()

Sheets("Front Page").Select

End Sub
Sub Auto_Open()

' Use as part of an Auto_Open macro
' Change both occurances of C:\myExcelBackups to the desired
' path location for the File Use Log -i.e. a network drive?
' A text file will show the name and time of everyone who
' opens the workbook.

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Dim FileUser As String
Dim FileUserDocFILE As String
FileUser = ActiveWorkbook.Name
On Error Resume Next
MkDir "MYWORKBOOK"
FileUserDocFILE = "MYWORKBOOK" & FileUser & " Log.txt"
On Error GoTo 0
Open FileUserDocFILE For Append As #1
Print #1, Application.UserName & Environ("username") & " Opened " &
ActiveWorkbook.Name & " at " & Now
Close #1
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

Is there a reason that you don't just call the other macro at the end
of the first one? You can type the name of the second macro before the
End Sub line.

Thanks for the help. I'm still learning the VB thing, but i'll get it
straight.
