I have the below macro in the workbook startup to ask if I want to run the macro in the workbook.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
CarryOn = MsgBox("Do you want to run the Macro?", vbYesNo)
If CarryOn = vbYes Then
Application.Run Macro:="holding2"
End If
End Sub

After I click "YES" it tells me the macro is not available. Its a separate module in the same spreadsheet. Is there another way to run it or do I need to move all my code over to the workbook startup and all under the msg book question code?

Thanks
James

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
Try using
Code:
Call holding2

Now I do not even get the message box. I get "Expected Variable or procedure, not module" error

What is the name of the macro you are trying to run?

What is the first line of the sub where the name is?

Can you please your entire "Holding2" code block?
Also, which module is this code found in?
