Sounds like they are pointing at a copy of Personal.xls somewhere else, and
is trying to load it but recognises that it is already loaded.

Do you create those buttons in the Workbook_Open of Personal.xls?

I have a Personal.xls workbook that contains all my useful macros, lives
in
the XLSTART folder, adn is loaded automatically when I start EXCEL. I've
recently created a custom toolbar, with two custom buttons on it, which
each
call up a subroutine in the Personal.xls workbook. When I go to use
either
of them, a message pops up advising that I'm trying to load Personal.xls
again, and this sin't possible (beacuse it's already loaded). How can I
get
these buttons to simply use the Personal.xls that is already loaded?
