Hi Edward

To run a macro when the workbook opens you need to do the following:

1. In the VB Editor double click "This Workbook" in the project window

2. The code window for "This Workbook" appears

3. In the drop down area at the top select Workbook. The Open Event Procedure appears.

4. Call the macro as shown below:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Call MyMacro

End Sub

Hope this helps

Carlos

Excel tip:

The dual nature of toolbar buttons

Many toolbar buttons are dual purpose, though the two purposes are often linked in some way. For example, Align Left aligns a cell's contents to the left of the cell. However, hold down Shift and press the Align Left button: Excel aligns the cell contents to the right.
You may respond: So what? Well, you can reduce the number of buttons on your toolbar to make your screen less cluttered and allow more room for, perhaps, some of your own commands. After all, what's the point of an Align Right button when Shift+Align Left does the same thing?
