Making code global in workbook

[Rick S.]

I have found this code below to be great for opening PD files, however I do
not know how to make it global through out my workbook.
That is with out pasting the code in each and every module I create
(including worksheet modules).

Any help is appreciated.

'Place this before the first procedure, at the top of the module
Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" _
Alias "ShellExecuteA" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, _
ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, _
ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

'This is the function that does the work
Public Sub OpenAcrobatFile(strFile As String)
ShellExecute 0, "open", strFile, vbNullString, vbNullString, 9
End Sub

'In a regular sub, use this to call the function to open the PDF file
without any warnings:

OpenAcrobatFile "C:\MyPath\FileName.pdf"

instead of using public sub try using Public Function

Thanks for your reply, but I think that for right now, this is over my head.
Like a stealth helicoptor, circling, repeatedly, and I don't know its there.
