Hi Simon,

Just move the xls file from the XLSTART directory to somewhere else. XL
automatically opens all files in the XLSTART directory when it starts. And
to make matters worse, all files in the directory specified in Tools /
Options / General / At startup, open all files in.

Move the file elsewhere and you should be OK.

Hi Simon,

Sorry, I didn't knowingly have it set and am investigating on where an
how to turn it off. I hope Peter's suggestion fixes the problem

I will try your suggestion Peter but i dont hold out much hope as its o
a network drive at my place of work and i think i have searched fo
XLSTART previously and its not there in WinNT.....however i will loo
again!

Belblanco.....if you remember your password in the mean time please le
me know as it will make the task a lot easier!

Thanks

Simon,

I don't use the feature, so I don't have a password. Does anyone ou
there have a clue?

Hi Simon,

It certainly won't be in WinNT. Try looking within c:\ProgramFiles or
c:\Documents and Settings.

Good luck.

Hi Simon,

Choose Tools/Add-Ins from the Excel menu and uncheck the Autosave
Add-in. Quit and restart Excel and it should be gone. If it isn't then some
other program you are loading automatically at startup is opening this
add-in.
