Hi,
im using Excel 2003. I have recorded a macro for some formating things
and sored it in personal.xls. The Problem is when i open more than one excel
at a time it is notifying that Personal.xls is read only how can i avoid
this! Thanx in advance

Hi Mohan,

Given that you can open multiple workbooks in a single instance of Excel,
why are you opening multiple instances of Excel?

If you do have a requirement to open more than one instance of Excel, then
Personal.xls can only be opened as read-only in subsequent instances.
