I have this simple macro in the Personal worksheet and it works fine when run.
I then put this macro into the Open Macro I want to use when opening the file
'msgbox testing
Sub messageBox()
MsgBox ("Ok to here")
End Sub

Here is the open macro.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'this macro is to unprotect and show all sheets

'Sub Open_Setup()

'Call UnProtectAllSheets

'Call UnhideVeryHiddenSheets

'Call Switch_to_Quote

'Call Unhide_AD_and_AE
Call messageBox

End Sub

Upon opening, here is the error message I receive:
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications
Compile error:
Sub or Function not defined

Anything that I try to call within the WorkBook Open macro to the personal workbook, will not run.
I am presuming that you can not call a macro in the Personal workbook from the open macro.
Any help is appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Try
VBA Code:
Application.Run "Personal.xlsb!messageBox"
