How to execute a Macros automatically when opening a workbook

Question

Hi people:
I've done a macros routine in order to make some arithmetic operations. When I execute the macros manually works fine, however, when I open the workbook and put the filter values the macros isn't executed.
Sub calculate()
End sub
Can anybody tell me if my code has to be in a special place or to have a special function in order to be executed any time the workbook is opened and refreshed?
Thanks in advanced. Points for helpful answers

Hi,
I have done something very common. First for open the workbook:
In the VBA Editor you have in your project in the "project window" two entries. Excel Objects and modules. In Excel Objets you have the workbook and the sheets. Got to the entry Workbook (double click) In the now opening code window you have to pulldown menus. Choose Workbook in the left one and Open in the right one. The code for the routine / handler appears automatically in the code window. Implement you code here or just call your routine.
Changes: Do exactly the same as in the method descibed above but from the left pull down menu choose SheetChange. This method only has the Con that it will execute not only by refresh but also by every change on the sheet. If you want to have it only by refreshing then:
SAP 3.5 - use the SAPBEXonRefresh method as described by Bob
SAp 7.0 - int the properties window of your workbook you have a possible entry: In the register Exits you can enter your macro at "Run macro on refresh". If you set the option "Refresh Workbook on open" in the register General then you achieve what you want only by implementing the macro in "Run macro on refresh".
