or even

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

depending what version of Excel you have

Best trick is to search for EXCEL.XLB there should be a XLSTART folder
PERSONAL.XLS goes there

xl2002+ has the abililty to quarantine what it thinks are bad workbooks.

They can keep track of them so that it doesn't even try to open them.

If you look under Help|About MS Excel, you'll see a button called: "Disabled
Items...".

Check under there to see if it's marked not to open. You can enable it there,
too.

If the workbook is really bad, you may want to delete that copy and put a copy
of your backup version into your XLStart folder.

(If you don't have a backup, take the time now and create one.)

My Excel 2003 has this for default path to XLSTART

C:\Documents and Settings\Gord\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

To find out where it is on your computer..............

Open excel.

ALT + F11 to get to the VBE

CTRL + g to see the Immediate Window

Type this and hit enter:

?application.startuppath

With Excel 2003, WinXP Pro, the return is....................

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

I checked under Help and there is no Disabled Item, I don't have a
Excel 2002 + version, as well, I know where the PERSONAL.XLS file i
stored and the file is there. So... I don't know what to do anymore?

Need more help, Thanks.
