One way or the other, this is a problem.

If you mark the file Readonly (using windows explorer), then you won't get the

I've recently created macros in Excel that are stored in personal.xls. It
might be because it never happened that I opened two instances of Excel since
I've created these macros (although I doubt it), but every time I open two or
more instances of Excel, I get the message that the personal.xls file is
locked for editing by myself.

Is there a way to go around this or do I have to live with it, considering
that I need the macros to be available in all Excel files I open?

Thanks.
