autorun a macro

[Guest]

Hello,

I'm new to Excel but used Lotus 123 version 2 many more years ago than I
would like to admit. Forgot most of what I knew about writing macros but do
remember that macros could linked to a key or to the opening of the
spreadsheet.

I have just started to use macros with Excel (I'm at the recording stage,
but going into the script to try to work out what it does)

Can anyone help me with code to invoke the macro as soon as the worksheet is
opened please. Please, please, please be gentle and explain it in simple
terms as the brain runs a lot slower these days.

Many thanks

Within the Visual Basic Editor (Alt-F11), click on the ThisWorkbook an
enter this into the main window:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

MsgBox ("This Macro Run on Open")

End Sub

Close the Visual Basic Editor, Save the Worksheet, Close it and Open i
