I\'ve got a Workbook_Open event macro (and it\'s in ThisWorkbook) that doesn\'t always run.

To add to the Arturo Llano post: The following code was used to monitor the Workbook_Open event and then run ProcessX whenever a workbook was opened.

ProcessX contained an End statement. The result was that it worked only the first time. The End wiped out AppX, so there was no further monitoring of events. Removing End fixed the problem. (Using End is bad practice anyway as it stops everything without any kind of cleanup or termination of other resources).

'Code in: Personal.xlsb ThisWorkbook

Public WithEvents AppX As Application

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

   Set AppX = Application

End Sub

Private Sub AppX_WorkbookOpen(ByVal wb As Workbook)

  'A 1-second delay to allow opening to complete before ProcessX starts.

   Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "ProcessX"

End Sub
