Getting rid of "PERSONAL"

Q

qualitycontrol

I created a macro for one of my worksheets, but I saved it in my personal
macro portfolio. I have since deleted the macro, because every time I opened
another Excel file, I received a notice that "PERSONAL" was already in use.
Now the macro is gone, but a blank worksheet "PERSONAL" keeps opening with
every Excel file I open. How can I get rid of it? I tried to trace it back to
the folder it is saved in and it was a dead end. (I went to "save as" and saw
it as PERSONAL "up a level" XLSTART "up a level" EXCEL "up a level" MICROSOFT
"up a level" APPLICATION DATA "up a level"... my server documents-I couldn't
go from my server documents back to PERSONAL though)

hi
how are you opening the files?
if you are not using file>open from the xl file menu(or an icon) then you
may be opening a new instance of excel which would then try to open the
already open personal.xls.

also
if the personal is in xlstart....remove it and that should stop the personal
file from trying to open but the main problem remains. how are you opening
the files.
