A Pop up message in Excel...

[Web master]

Just curious if this can be done... does anyone know a way to make a pop up
message appear in Excel 2003 when an a file opens? Example, I have a
particular file that is shared for others to update. When whoever opens the
file I would like a little text box to say a few chosen words from me like
"THIS FILE IS NOT TO BE MOVE OR RENAMED" or anything else I choose.

Thanks in advance,

Ian

Hi Ian,

In a standard module paste:

'=============>>
Public Sub Autpen()
MsgBox "THIS FILE IS NOT TO BE MOVE OR RENAMED"
End Sub
'<<=============

In the thisworkbook module in the VB Editor add this code(Right click the
Excel icon in the top right hand corner of Excel and choose view code)

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
MsgBox "THIS FILE IS NOT TO BE MOVE OR RENAMED", _ vbInformation,
"Warning"
End Sub
