    Only with VBA and what if whoever opens it does not allow VBA to run? So it's pointless.

    Re: Tracking My Excel Sheet

    I won't discuss any existing workbook that may, or may not, send an email when it's opened. But if you want to send an email when a workbook is opened then the only way to do it in Excel is to use VBA. The user can simply choose not to allow VBA to run , or legitimately bypass it, so adding that functionality inside an Excel workbook is pointless.

    You can monitor when a file is opened using Windows, but that's not Excel so is outside the scope of this forum.

    Ever think, if you did add the email functionality, you'd be annoyed if some other boss told his employees to 'disconnect the internet' when using your workbook?

    See this page for a comprehensive discussion on sending emails using VBA: http://www.rondebruin.nl/win/section1.htm

    Use the Workbook_Open event to start the procedure.

    Your company is probably using software to track access to files on the company server including filename, by whom and when which would not be part of Excel.
