How to save/move a personal workbook
When you say 'personal' do you mean the PERSONAL.XLS that Excel opens
up when it starts? If so, then the easiest is to move/copy the entire workbook and not worksheets and macros separatelly. As a general rule (for me anyway) is to not make the PERSONAL.XLS overly a task specific, i.e., I'd store in the workbook on the macros, that i'd use for general purposses and not for a specific workbook. If you've got macros needed for a specific workbook - store/record those macros in that workbook (and not PERSONAL.XLS) - then the macros always follow the worksheets/spreadsheets.

How to save/move a personal workbook
Your personal workbook is stored in your Excel xlstart folder which is
opened with xl but remains hidden. It's exact path will depend on the version of xl and your system configuration. Do a search for "personal.*" to find it and move / copy this to your new PC. -- Regards, Nigel "Paul H" wrote in message ... I have a number of spreadsheets in a personal workbook.

How to save/move a personal workbook
Thanks Nigel. Can I put it in my folder with the spreadsheet, or must it be in the comparable spot as in the "from" machine? My "from machine" is 2003 and XP. My "to machine" is Excel 2007 and Vista.
