AutoOpen not running

[Fr33dan]

I have an AutoOpen macro in the Normal.dot file and the macro does not run when I open a file. The AutoExec In the same module runs. This is the code for the macro as it is now:

Sub AutoOpen()
MsgBox "The AutoOpen Ran this time"
End Sub

I'm running Office 97 on a Windows 2000 computer and I've tried it on another computer (Also running Office 97 but Windows XP)

I found a workaround here:

but it's still very odd that it doesn't work..

Any chance you have another AutoOpen which might override it - say in Normal's ThisDocument.

Enjoy,
Tony

That thought of that as well but there wasn't one.
