Have the tried the advice offered but to no avail. There is only one copy of
Personal.xls that I can find, located in the Excel StartUp folder under
Users. Xlb is in the parent folder of that one but I still get the same error
message.

First, find all your personal.xls files and move them somewhere safe.

Windows start button|Search

Then start excel
Hit alt-f11 to get to the VBE (where macros live)
hit ctrl-g to see the immediate window

Type this:
?application.startuppath

Make a note of where this is and put your real personal.xls in that folder.

========
If the *.xlb file isn't in the parent folder of this startuppath, you should
move (not copy) it there.

I have installed Micorsoft Office 2000 on a new computer running Vista Home
Premium, having formerly run under XP. I've copied Excel.xlb and
Personal.xls. My toolbars show OK. They incude a number of Macros as Toobar
buttons but when I click on one I get a message "A document with the name
Perosnal.xls is already open. You cannot open two documents with the same
name' etc. I can't find extra copies of Personal.xls anywhere so I am unsure
what I need to do to solve this issue. Would appreicate some advice so I can
avoid having to re-do the Macros.
