MS Office Forum / Excel / Setup / February 2004How can I get Excel to auto-open a blank workbook at startup?
Hi, When I start Excel, I would like to see a blank workbook. Instead, I get grey nothingness. There is no "/e" in my shortcut target. Excel 97 on Windows NT. Thanks, Holly What do you have in your XLStart folder? Maybe a workbook that opens hidden Start excel and look under Window|Unhide. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Thanks, > Holly  SignatureDave Peterson ec35720@msn.com Just personal.xls which is indeed hidden. But doesn't Excel normally start with a blank workbook called Book1? Thanks for your reply! :-) >-----Original Message----- >What do you have in your XLStart folder?

But if I had another workbook (also hidden in excel) in that folder, then I didn't get the empty workbook. I really have personal.xla, sheet.xlt and book.xlt in my XLStart folder and I always get that blank workbook. I didn't test this, but any chance you're using the alternate startup folder and have something in that folder that interferes? I don't have any more quesses. > Just personal.xls which is indeed hidden. But doesn't > Excel normally start with a blank workbook called Book1?
