Is there a simple way to have a macro automatically started when a workbook
is open?

Thanks

Francesco, use the workbook open event, like this,

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
MsgBox "It Works!"
End Sub

To put in this macro, from your workbook right-click the workbook's icon and
pick View Code. This icon is at the top-left of the spreadsheet this will
open the VBA editor to the thisworkbook module, then, paste the code in the
window that opens on the right hand side, press Alt and Q to close this
window and go back to your workbook, now this will run every time you open
the workbook. If you are using excel 2000 or newer you may have to change
the macro security settings to get the macro to run. To change the security
settings go to tools, macro, security, security level and set it to medium
