Hi Kassie,

All of the files are sent via email. I believe it is the setting of Excel
program because there is no personal.xls attached when I open them in my
desktop. Yet there is personal.xls when I open them in my nokebook.

It now begins to sound as if you are receiving files from someone else.
Is
this on a memory stick, on an email, or what?

I do not think Excel creates a new Personal.xls every time? Maybe you
should
just hide your personal.xls file. A very handy file to store
application
wide macros, which you want to be able to use in all worksheets, rather
than
have to copy to all worksheets? I would never delete mine!

Hi,

Whenever I open an .xls document, Excel will create a file
personal.xls.
How
can I stop Excel from doing this?

Many thanks!
