MS Office Forum / Excel / General Excel Questions / May 2008Problem with XLStart
Hi I am having a strange problem with one of my users. We use a personal workbook in my company and by default it's stored in: C:\Documents and Settings\%Username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART I have one of our users where Excel stopped opening the workbook. If I cut/paste the workbook into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\XLSTART it opens without any problems. I then checked the disabled items and I could see the workbook, I then enabled it again but it's still the same. If stored under the user profile it doesn't work but if it's stored under Program Files it works. /Lasse So if a user writes their own macro and stores it in the personal macro workbook, your file overwrites it? It would be better to distribute as an add-in. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > /Lasse Hi Jon and thanks for the reply. Nobody in the company creates their own macros, but that's not the issue here. The problem is why don't Excel use the Person.xls when it's stored in "C:\Documents and Settings\....." but when it's stored in "C:\Program Files\....."? > So if a user writes their own macro and stores it in the personal macro > workbook, your file overwrites it?

I was editorializing. At a former employer, the IT department had the XLSTART directory cleaned out on every reboot of Windows. This was a terrible policy. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ > Hi Jon and thanks for the reply. > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] >> > >> > /Lasse |
