Personal.xls
I am using office 2003 professional. Setting up a new pc with xp and am use
to using office 2002 with windows 2000. I have created and saved my "Personal.xls" in the following directory C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART My problem is that each time I open excel, the personal.xls workbook is open as a workbook to use. This is when the file is not "Hidden". When I hide the file excel doesn't open the personal.xls workbook so I can use the macros. I've been playing with this all day. Please help!!!! Thank you all in advance |

My PERSONAL.XLS is stored in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\XLSTART and it seems to work fine .. The above might also work for you .. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |

Hi Max,
Thanks, but I tried and it doesn't work any differently than before. I'll have to revert to some more reading. "Max" wrote: "Kimbo" wrote: I am using office 2003 professional.

Why don't you rename that Personal.xls, then record a macro,
ToolsMacrosRecord New Macro..., and then select Personal.xls from the Store in dropdown. Just stop the recorder without doing anything, and then go and search for Personal.xls. Like Max I think it will be somewhere else, then you can just replace that new one with your old copy. -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "Kimbo" wrote in message ...
