Default Excel upgrade to 2002

I have created numerous Macros in Excel 2000, stored in the Personal.XLS file.
After upgrading to Excel 2002, when I attempt to run these macros assigned
to an Active-X button I get the error: "Personal.XLS is already open. You
cannot open 2 documents with the same name."
If I close the Personal.XLS first, the macros run O.K. What are the
differences between Excel 2000 and Excel 2002 for running Macros?

Thanks for your help. Garry

It's probably trying to pick up a Personal.xls in another location.

Re-assign all the ActiveX controls to their macros.

That was my first thought. I have searched for this file name in all System
Folders, Hidden Files, and Sub Folders. It only occurs 1 time in the XLSTART
directory.
Any other thoughts?

Garry,

Try re-assigning them anyway.

Thanks, Bob
That did the trick.
It was still looking in the old Excel 2000 directory.
