Hi Jack,
One point that was not mentioned is that the personal.xls
workbook is normally hidden so that the macros in it can be
used by other workbooks without having to specify the
workbookname. Unfortunately that does not apply to UDF
(User Defined Functions) as well (maybe fortunately from
Microsoft's viewpoint in debugging). All files in the XLSTART
directory will be opened by Excel.

How do you know it is not opening?

You have macros assigned to buttons and when you click you get error message?

Perhaps it is opening "hidden".

WindowsUnhide. Is it there?

If not, hit HelpAbout Microsoft ExcelDisbled Items.

Has it been disabled? If so try enabling.

Second point......you should, for safety's sake, keep your security on "medium".
