XLStart empty but Personal still running
XL2003 on XP on an old AMD xp2400 chip
I have taken my Personal.xls out of XLStart but it keeps running? Evidently it is still there but windows cannot see it Each day I update my Personal program on a Compaq laptop with Vista and transfer across using a USB drive. The vista machine (2.0gig duocore) is incredibly unreliable and I do not know from one day to the next whether the code will run. It is normal for vista to encounter a problem and wipe out the vba code in the process. I have been having the problem of the Personal.xls running when it is not in the XLStart on the Vista laptop for sometime. But now it is showing up on my XP desktop. The result is that I am currently out of business as the program is the center of my investment business. Can I simply remove the XLStart folder and create a new one. Or is there some way of cleaning the folder. Everything I try seems to make the problem worse. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ta, Martin Wheeler |
