You can't have two files with the same name in the same directory - so
something isn't as it seems. Find out where the personal.xls (that does
open) is located. Then close excel and replace that with your original.

Hi
I have PERSONAL.xls in my C:\Documents and Settings\BMazur\Application
Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

When I open Excel my Personal book does not open and I can't get to my macros.
I deleted my old Personal book and started new one by recording a simple
macro. By doing that I created a new Personal book in my XLSTART, but it does
not open automaticaly. I thought everything in XLSTART opens automaticaly
when you start Excel.
Any sugestions?
