Hi All,

I am new to VBA so please forgive this rather simple question.

I have written a macro which calls a user form and I can fill in all of the
data and populate the worksheet as I requrie.

My problem is as follows. I have saved the worksheet as a template. I want
the macro to run the first time a new document is created based on the
template. How do I do that ?

TIA
Peter
 
Private sub Workbook_Open()
if thisworkbook.Path = "" then
mymacro
End if
End Sub

Hi Tom,

thanks for this but i do not know where to place this function. DO I place
it in the workbook or the specific sheet ?

TIA
Peter
 
Tom,

Thanks! I like it!!! And I have just the place to use it...
I had been using a check on the workbook name, but this is more appropriate.
Should even work for workbooks that are sent via email.

menubar.

Select view code and paste it in that right hand window.

Your macro code should continue to live in a General module.

Thanks everyone, that has sorted it.
I owe you all one.
