Ahhhhh...Help!
 

Every time I start Excel 2003 where I work the message 'C:\Documents and
Settings\Malcolm S. Turnquest\My Documents\Investment Information\Get Stock
Quotes.xls' could not be found, pops up! The file is not on the hard drive,
what do I do?

Ahhhhh...Help!
 

Once you get into Excel, click TOOLS on the menu and select OPTIONS. In th e
OPTIONS dialog box, click the GENERAL tab and verify that you do not have the
file listed in the AT START UP, OPEN ALL FILES IN field, located towards the
bottom of the tab page.

- Did the file EVER exist on your computer?

- Are you the only user?

Ahhhhh...Help!
 

Any macro code in the workbook module for the OnOpen event? Press Alt+F11 to
open the VBA editor, and if necessary press Ctrl+R to open the Project
Explorer window. Double click on the THIS WORKBOOK icon to open the module.
If there's nothing there, I'm wrong again.

Yeah, the file existed but I had to delete it. Yup, I'm the only user.

In that case, I think Kevin's suggestion is the thing to investigate. The
other possibility, although remote, is that the shortcut you're using to
start Excel was created not only to start the program, but to open a
specific file.

Ahhhhh...Help!
 

You sure it said .xls, not .xla?

You may want to look under tools|addins and see if there's anything checked that
looks like it belongs to a stock quoting addin.
