Rachel,

You can either create a subroutine in the Workbook module, or create an Auto_Open procedure in a VB module. Either one works fine, my preference in most cases tends to be the latter option. If you are new to VB, here're the steps from start to finish:

Click on Tools > Macro > Visual Basic Editor, then Click Insert > Module > and where the cursor is flashing, type Sub Auto_Open and hit Enter. The space in between "Sub Auto_Open()" and "End Sub" is where you shall insert the code that will be triggered every time the file opens.

Hope this helps.
