How to make macro start when file is opened

I want a macro to start running when I open the file, how and where do I use
an event procedure like workbook_open (if this is a real one??) to do this?
Excel2000.

Thanks,

John

John,

You've got it.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'your code here
End Sub

'This is workbook event code.
'To input this code, right click on the Excel icon on the worksheet
'(or next to the File menu if you maximise your workbooks),
'select View Code from the menu, and paste the code

Go to VBA editor using <alt> + <f11>

In the "project - vba project window" double click on "this workbook"
On the right side of the window click on dropdown arrow next to "general"
select "workbook"
click on dropdown next to "open" to see all possible event options
select "open" or any of the others
enter the name of the macro you want to run without the Sub and without the
( )

So it should look like...........

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
macroname
End Sub
