the file you are trying to open, "Personal.xls", is in a different format
than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted
and is form a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the
file now?? // will come up everytime new excel file is opened or xlsx file
type is open. recently reinstalled Office 2007 - it didn't fixed this issue -
any sugestions?

Shouldn't you be saving that file as personal.xlsb

Hi Marcela

all my macros created in xlsx file format are gone
That's correct
In this file format all macros will be deleted from your file
xlsm is the format with macros


I suggest this

Rename the Personal.xls with your code to myoldpersonal.xls

Creat a new Personal file (see my site)
Open myoldpersonal.xls

When you go to the VBA editor you see both workbooks now
Drag and drop the modules from myoldpersonal.xls to the new Persnoal file

I don't use xl2007 much, but this site:

http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office....mspx?mfr=true

says that xlsx is a file with no macros.

So that macros are gone doesn't seem like a surprise.

FWIW, I have one Personal.xls that I use with Excel 2000, 2002, 2003 and
2007. It works fine and Excel 2007 never gives me a message like you're
getting.
