Any idea why this opens an instance without the message that certain
workbooks are already locked for editing (e.g., Personal.XLS)?


The code ONLY loads the designated workbook (Book1.xls). AddIns and files
in the XLStart folder, such as Personal.xls, do not get
loaded.Consequently, the question of locked files does not arise.

Hit Alt-F11 and look at the files in the VBE.
