First, I don't have two copies of xl on my pc. This may not work. But it
shouldn't take too long to test.

I would open both versions of excel (one at a time) and find out where excel
wants my XLStart folder.

Hit alt-f11 to get to the VBE
hit ctrl-g to see the immediate window
type this
?application.startuppath
and hit enter.

Make sure that the .xltx files are only in the XLStart folder for xl2007--and
nowhere else (use windows search to verify).

Hello! Friends:

I hope someone could help:

I have both EXCEL2003 and EXCEL2007 installed in my PC (Vista Business).
Recently when I opened EXCEL2003, I always got an error message, and upon
further investigation, it pertains to the 2 files book.xltx and sheet.xltx.

That means my EXCEL2003 always assesses these 2 files first before showing
the first workbook (book1.xls). How can I remove these errors? I had
uninstalled and re-installed the OFFICE2003, but the error persists.

Also, after I opened EXCEL2007, it takes a long time to exit when I clicked
close (the cross at the top right corner). Wonder whether this is related to
the issue mentioned above.

Many thanks.
