That depends on when the highlighting should happen.
You provided the answer to this question yourself, see question three.

You have to make the code a public sub. Just put the keyword public in
front of sub.

You have to add the line
"ShadeAlternateRows Range("A1:D50"), 27, 2"
in the Workbook_open method, not the code of ShadeAlternateRows.
ShadeAlternateRows is best be placed in the code module that is called
ThisWorkbook (I'm not sure about the name since I use a different
locale).
