I re-installed Office 2000 onto a new laptop running WIN XP Pro from an
older one running WIN 98SE.

All of my macros are stored in Personal.xls, and ran perfectly on old
laptop. Now when I try to run a macro, I receive the message that a file
named Personal.xls is already open and you cannot open 2 files with the
same name. (This I know!)Personal.xls always loaded but was hidden.

I can't figure out what I have forgotten to change in the new setup to
let the macros run.
Any hints would be appreciated...

TIA
Doug
