Excel 2003 macro collection
I had to delete user WinXP profile, when user logged in new profile was
created but Excel 2003 macro collection and macro menu list was gone. Where can I find users macroes - I beleive that they were saved as part of Personal Workbook or something similar? Any help greatly appreciated... |

If they were in personal.xls (or .xla), you should be able to find them in the
XLStart folder. Open excel hit alt-f11 to get to the VBE hit ctrl-g to see the immediate window type this and hit enter: ?application.startuppath for me (xl2003, winXP Home), I get: C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART But if you changed usernames, you may want to open windows explorer and drill down to that old user's XLStart folder. === On top of that, the user could have had an addin that could be anywhere. They could install the addin via tools|addins and browse to any location that was available--network drives included. bluepuppet wrote: I had to delete user WinXP profile, when user logged in new profile was created but Excel 2003 macro collection and macro menu list was gone.

I found the solution.
Personal.xls is stored in following folder: C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\App. Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART I copied XLSTART folder to new user profile and all macroes were there. User will have to recreate the menues. Next time i should search your forum better. Thanks again....

You should be able to find the Excel11.XLB file in
C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\App. Data\Microsoft\Excel folder That file stores all the Toolbar and Menu customizations. Copy it over to new profile.
