How to change default workbook when starting Excel?
Hi Ner
If you want a change the default workbook then you must use a template. Open a new workbook and change the things you want in this workbook (Font/background color, font and font size and ?) Then use FileSave As to save the file as a Template (xlt, in 2007 xltx or xltm) with the name "Book" in the XLSTART folder. Every workbook you insert is based on this template. You can find the Excel startup folder here Note: this a hidden folder C:\Documents and Settings\Ron\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART Or in Vista C:\Users\Ron\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTA RT With code you can find the correct path with this code line MsgBox Application.StartupPath -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "Ner" wrote in message ...

Just to add to Ron's reply...
Most people use personal.xls as a home for the macros that they always want available when excel starts. Most wouldn't want this used as a basis for any new workbook. In fact, this personal.xls is usually hidden from the user. Ner wrote: How can I change the default workbook, when I open Excel, from book1.xls to personal.xls -- Dave Peterson |

How to change default workbook when starting Excel?
I successfully created book.xlt and sheet.xlt, and it's so nice to be
able to set my own colors. However, I just realized that when I open a *.csv file (created by another application) with Excel, the color palette that is used is the MS default. Does anyone know a way around this? Thanks! Andrew |
