Auto_Open Workbook_Open

[yngve.angelskaar]

What is the diferent between Auto_Open and Workbook_Open, when I use
Auto_Open in a module and open the workbook with a macro the Auto_Open
is not runing, workbook_Open runs.

That is essentially the difference.

Auto_Open is the original way of having a macro run at workbook startup, but
with the introduction of events in XL97, the Workbook_Open event was
introduced. Auto_Open is retained for compatibility.

They are very similar. Auto_Open is older than the Workbook_Open
event (events were added in Excel 97). One major difference is
that if a workbook is opened via VBA (as opposed to the
File..Open menu item), Auto_Open will not run, while
Workbook_Open will.
