Personal.xls..2000vsXP
I have a Personal.xls workbook on my computer (Windows 2000) that I have copied to
a floppy disk, then copied it onto another computer (Windows XP). My version of Personal.xls does not show up on the XP Computer, only the original version that was already there. On both computers, I am using the directory C:\Program FIles\Microsoft Office\Office 10\XLStart What's going on? Why can't I get this workbook to replace the old one. Thanks for you help, Bernie |

One way to be sure is to make a change that will affect your current
personal.xls (record a macro or something, and store it there). then do a search for personal.xls and check date/time on any hits - the latest one is the one you should be replacing. -- Regards Ken.......................

Exit excel and then open. The personal .xla is loaded when
excel starts. If still not, then shutdown computer and then open excel as a copy of personal.xla maybe in a temp folder of excel. -----Original Message----- I have a Personal.xls workbook on my computer (Windows 2000) that I have copied to a floppy disk, then copied it onto another computer (Windows XP).
