I'm guessing that the OP is using xl2007 and wants to know about .xlsb (or
.xls)?

http://www.microsoft.com/interop/docs/officebinaryformats.mspx
or
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA100069351033.aspx

From what I've read, the .xlsb binary files open a little faster (less for excel
to do???).

And yep, they can contain macros.

I still use personal.xla in xl2007.  I haven't resaved it as .xlab (yet).
