i wish to create a msge box that will appear when a file is opened in Excel. Is this possible?

Yes, but it'll appear only when the files has opened completely.

i used.....

Sub Auto_open()
MsgBox ("Welcome!")
End Sub

is it possible to have something similar like

Sub Auto_open()
MsgBox ("Please insert you name")
textBox?
End Sub

So the can enter their details that would ultimately update a cell in the opened spreadhsheet?!!!??

Sure... just use..

the InputBox method, it's similar to MsgBox, but this one accepts entries.

Sub Test()
Dim Str as String
Str = InputBox("Message here","Title")
Range("A1") = Str
End Sub
