Where is your Personal file located? It should be in a folder
named XLStart, typically located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\XLStart Also, are you sure that is isn't opening but hidden? -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Tempy" wrote in message ...

Maybe it was disabled...
xl2002+ have the abililty to quarantine what it thinks are bad workbooks. They can keep track of them so that it doesn't even try to open them. If you look under Help|About MS Excel, you'll see a button called: "Disabled Items...". Check under there to see if it's marked not to open. You can enable it there, too. If the workbook is really bad, you'll want to put your backup copy in XLStart. Tempy wrote: Hi could somebody please tell me why my Personal file does not load up with excel ?

What does this mean?

If excel thought the workbook was bad enough to disable, maybe there really was
something bad with it. This has happened to me a couple of times. It appears that excel can be too aggressive in quarantining a file. But if you put the quarantined file back and excel continues to disable it, it might be time to delete the troublesome file and use the backup. (It was also my passive-aggressive way to remind people to make backups of important files--including personal.xl*.) David McRitchie wrote: What does this mean?

Hi Dave,
Yes but you want the backups stored offline media certainly not *in* the XLSTART folder, where opening all files is at least attempted. Actually after thirty readings with different pauses (thinking of David Braden) it almost makes sense but I think the following would be more clear. If the workbook is really bad, you'll want to *restore* your backup copy *of* *the* XLStart *folder*. instead of If the workbook is really bad, you'll want to put your backup copy in XLStart. The XLSTART folder itself should be backed up along with other user data files. http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/backup.htm "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...

But I think I might use:
If the workbook is really bad, you may want to delete that copy and put a copy of your backup version into your XLStart folder. (I don't want to restore the backup XLStart folder (usually).)
