Personal.xls.

Personal.xls is located in the XLStart directory, and is used to store
macros and
things that you want to be available to all workbooks, whenever you start
Excel.

By default, it is hidden in Excel, but if you go to the VBE, you use it as
you can
with any other open workbook (you don't have to unhide it).

You can create it by
- goto ToolsMacrosRecord New Macro...
- Choose Personal Macro Workbook form the dropdown
- OK
- click the Stop button on the toolbar that pops-up

You now have a Personal.xls workbook. It is not visible though, it is hidden
by default (WindowsUnhide)

If you want to use a macro in another workbook, you need Application.Run

Application.Run "Personal.xls!test_macro"

.... with parameters

Application.Run "Personal.xls!test_macro", 4, 8

If you're trying to use a function that you created and stored in personal.xls
in a cell in a worksheet, you'd use something like:

=personal.xls!yourfunctionnamehere(...)

Pranay

Create an Add-in with your macros.

Then load the add-in through ToolsAdd-ins.

You won't have to use the Personal.xls! or Application.Run method
