Not too clear on what you are asking but I will hazard a guess that when you
start Excel, many files try to open due to improper use of your XLSTART folder or an "alternate startup location" Is this the case? Find your XLSTART folder and move the files to another new folder for the time being. Can you get Excel started at all in order to make some changes In ToolsOptions? If not, post back with more details.

To clarify.
When Excel starts up it will try to open any files it finds in the default XLSTART folder or a designated "at start up, open all files in" a folder which has its path in ToolsOptionsGeneral. Any file means just that............looks like you have a bunch of Word *.docs in one or the other of the above. I would guess that the "at start up open all files in" might have been set to c:\data\word folder. Open that folder and move the files to another location. Try start Excel again. If successful, go to ToolsOptionsGeneral and delete the path in "at start up etc." To deal with the XLSTART folder if that's the culprit.............. C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART being the usual folder. Or could be C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\XLSTART Remove any files in either of those folders.

You can store the Excel files anywhere you wish.
Just make sure you have the ToolsOptionsGeneral "at start up, open all files in" location empty. Set your default Excel file folder at ToolsOptionsGeneral "Default file location" Create a new subfolder under C:\data Name it ExcelStuff. In the default file location dialog enter C:\data\ExcelStuff Gord On Sun, 30 Mar 2008 14:19:00 -0700, raypm wrote: Moving the data file worked.
