I am unable to find "activate " when I right click on worksheet. ( i assume
that you are referring to the windows explorer kind of interface which opens
up on the left of the visula basic window) . Sorry! I am new to excel and
many thanks for your quick response.
 
Hi

See Chip Pearson's site for more info
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/events.htm

Example code :

Sub Auto_open()
MsgBox "Hi"
End Sub

Must be in a normal module
If you use a Auto_open macro then this wil not run if you open the file with a macro

Or a event

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'macro name or code
End Sub

Right click on the Excel icon next to File in the menubar
And choose View code

You are now in the Thisworkbook module
Paste the Event in this place
Alt-Q to go back to Excel
Save and close the file
 
You said worksheet. To us that means each tab within the workbook which is
the file....
 
Thanks a bunch...It works. Also how do I make the macro run automatically
whenever the value in a cell changes?
