Personal.xls won't open or record any more
 

Hi everyone
My Excel application ended abnormally and I had to recuperate my Personal.xls that is loaded with code modules. But the problem now is that I cannot record any macro any more and it does not open when I open Excel. If I try to recreate a new one, it will not allow recording nor will it open by itself even though I put it in the "\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART" folder. What else could I do
Of course, I rebooted a few times and restarted Excel. Nothing will do
I use Excel 2003 (french canadian version) and Windows XP Personal
Thanks

What are your security settings set to? If High, change to Medium.

Also...........

Click on HelpAbout and hit "Disabled items".

Is your Personal.xls listed there? If so try the "enable" button.

Hi Gord
I enabled my PERSONAL.XLS with the Help/About - Disabled Items button and it worked. Thank you very much
About my security setting, it is at low because I do a lot of macros and my computer is well protected. I scan everything I receive that may be harmful
Thanks again. Your help is very appreciated.
