Saving the Macro for all workbooks
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) -- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "Pranay Shah" wrote in message ...

Saving the Macro for all workbooks
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 Shah wrote: Hi Bob, Thanks for the replying back.

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 Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 19 Jul 2007 07:33:25 -0500, Dave Peterson wrote: 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(...)
