j jones, something like this,

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
MsgBox "This is a reminder", , "This Is The Title"
End Sub

To put in this macro, from your workbook right-click the workbook's icon and
pick View Code. This icon is to the left of the "File" menu this will open
the VBA editor, in Project Explorer double click on thisworkbook, under your
workbook name, if you don't see it press CTRL + r to open the Project
Explorer, then, then paste the code in the window that opens on the right
hand side, press Alt and Q to close this window and go back to your
workbook, now this will run every time you open the workbook. If you are
using excel 2000 or newer you may have to change the macro security
settings to get the macro to run. To change the security settings go to
tools, macro, security, security level and set it to medium

Only if you enable macros.

In ThisWorkbook module enter this code.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
MsgBox "Don't forget your umbrella when it's raining"
End Sub
