Recently, the personal.xls file won't open when I start Excel. The box for
"Open all files in " on the general tab under tools/options is blank. When
I've tried to change this to the Microsoft Excel startup directory
(C:\Documents and Settings\MyName\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART),
which does have the personal.xls fiel in it, it won't let me. As soon as I
click OK, it reverts back to a blank box. Any ideas? This is a recent
phenomena, as it worked fine for the past 9 months and don't really have any
idea as to what I might have changed (if anything). I have some very
valuable macros that I use often through buttons on a custom toolbar, so this
is really inconvenient.

Thanks,

John
