    WorkBook Open event for caption not working

    Hii

    I want to have a caption to the workbook on opening the file. I used open workbook event with Application.caption but its not working for Thisworkbbok.

    However when I press ctrl+n for new workbbok the caption appears.. I don't know what's the issue & why such strange behavior.

    Please Help !!

    Sample excel file attached.

    Thanks.

    I think it's just a timing issue. Try this:

    It works fine for me with that change, but you might want to add a small delay to the OnTime. For example, to add a 1 second delay, you'd use Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1) instead of just Now

    It is working ok.
    On opening file after the fie name the caption in the title bar window is appearing.
    Pl note
    Array formula should be confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter keys together.
    If answere is satisfactory press * to add reputation.

    Your original didn't work for me in 2016 - I believe the caption did change but then got overwritten by Excel with the default after the workbook was opened. Adding a delay with OnTime should work - did you try that?

    Yes this do work but it completely replaced the file name with the caption...I want filename (whatever it is - to be dynamic) & caption both to be displayed on the title bar.
