I'm guessing that you have a toolbar with icons or additional options added to
the worksheet menu bar that call your macros.

These buttons/options are pointing at some other personal.xls file--not the one
that's currently loaded in memory. (Maybe you changed the location of your
personal.xls file????)

Your life will become much simpler if you include code to create the toolbar
when the workbook is opened and include code to destroy the toolbar when the
workbook is closed.

For additions to the worksheet menu bar, I really like the way John Walkenbach
does it in his menumaker workbook:

Here's how I do it when I want a toolbar:

I have a personal macro file containing several (over 20) macros. Each time
I run a macro, it tries to reopen the macro file. How do I keep Excel from
trying to open the file every time I run a macro?
This is a new problem. The personal macro file was started about 3 years
ago and this problem started about 3 weeks ago.

Thank you,
