Default personal macro workbook must stay open for recording

Hi All,

If I do alt-TMR in excel to record a macro, and opt to store the macro
in personal.xls, I get a nice 'microsoft excel' OKonly popup telling me
'personal macro workbook in the startup folder must stay open for
recording'. Taking the only choice available (OKonly) gives me another
OKonly popup telling me 'Unable to record'.

So I'm currently resorting to storing recorded macros ion the current
workbook instead, which is inconvenient.

If anyone else has seen this message before and know why it appears
and, more important, how to get personal.xls working normally, then
please respond.

Thanks

Mat
