I can't believe I didn't think of that. Thank you for the info. Found it and
deleted it!

Delete the ones you know you don't want.

Is there a way to just delete this worksheet altogether? I delete the Macro
but for some reason the sheet is still there?

Personal.xls was created when you recorded a macro to it. You may delete or
better yet put this macro in it to toggle hiding/unhiding. I have it
assigned to a button on my MENU.xls that opens when I open excel.


Sub TogglePersonal()
Windows("PERSONAL.XLS").Visible = Not Windows("PERSONAL.XLS").Visible
End Sub

Hello,

I have a weird kind of question. Every time I open Excel, the first
worksheet comes up as Personal.xls but when I click on the icon to open a
new
worksheet, it opens as book1.xls. Why it is opening with personal.xls and
how
do I get rid of it? I remember doing something with a macro from a
prcatice
excerise but I delted the macro. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!!
