Autorun a macro when workbook is open

[suriyahi]

Hello...I need help with a piece of VBA code that will automatic run one of my Macro (macro name is 'Update_Chart' when workbook is open. Not sure if you need to know the workbook name but it will always start with 'Sales Forecast'..then followed by Month and Year. So, in this case, this will be 'Sales Forecast October 2008.xls'. I appreciate your help with this. Thank you.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'your code
End Sub
[/vba]

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

I have an existing macro and want to add this feature. I tried "Call" and "Application.Run" but neither seems to work. Is there another way to get my existing macro to run when the workbook is opened?

[Bob Phillips]

Call should have worked. Show us the code.

I also tried to paste the code itself into the workbook module with your WorkBook_Open() and still no results

xld,
If you think "Call" should have worked and with the code pasted in the module and since"Application.Run" did not work then it is probably because of the remote server location which has been messing up a couple of my macros that did work when the server was on-site here. If you don't see any real obvious problem then do worry about this. I just thought it would be nice to have but I can just have the people who use the file call the macro manually. Thanks for the effort.
