Excel 2007 and macros
Greetings all!
I'm struggling with macros in Excel 2007. I've saved a macro and assigned it to the Personal workbook -- thinking that these macros would be available whenever I open a new spreadsheet. I've tried to hide the Personal spreadsheet and also have unhidden it. Neither seems to allow me to use the macros that I have just saved. The error message I get is this: Cannot run the macro -- macro name -- The macro may not be available in this workbook or all macros may be disabled. Any help would be greatly appreciated! |

Try to create a new Personal file
Rename or delete your old one and let Excel create the file for you See http://www.rondebruin.nl/personal.htm -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "Chimelle" wrote in message ...

Excel 2007 and macros
We must be thinking along the same lines -- I tried that and still nothing.
I have since searched another resource and found that unless the document that has the macros is saved to the "My Documents" folder, it will not work. I moved the location and now things seem to be working. Thanks for your help!
