How do I get my personal macro worksheet to open whenever I open .
 

I have Excel 2000 (9.0.7616 SP-3) on a laptop that has Windows XP and
whenever I try to run a macro (saved on my personal.xls worksheet) it shows
that my worksheet will not open as a hidden file when I open Excel. I have
used another version of Excel on a PC running Windows 2000 and Excel 2000
(9.0.4402 SR-2) and whenever I open Excel my Personal.xls file is opened in
the background. Is there a way that I can fix my Laptop to do the same? Any
help would be much appreciated

Hi
try:
- put personal.xls in your XLStart folder
- after openening Excel activate this file and use 'Windowsd - Hide' to
hide it
- close Excel and start it again

Thank you Frank but I actually did do that already and it still will not open
as a hidden file when I start Excel. Do you know of a setting that I have to
activate to get it to work? By the way, I also have two other accounts,
Default User, All Users and Administrator. Should I copy it into the XLSTART
folder on all these accounts? Please let me know. Thanks!!!!!

I'd delete all of the except for one.

And I'd find the location of the file to keep by:

Start 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 (win98 and xl2002), I get this:
C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART
