Macros - Peronal workbook

Hi all

A colleague of mine has created a macro but rather than saving it into the
current workbook has saved it to the personal macro workbook.

It now says that the personal workbook is hidden. We have tried to delete
the macro and it says it cannot find thie hidden workbook.

How can I delete this macro and close the personal macro workbook???

THank you.

Louise

Hi Louise. Have you tried going to Windows menu and unhide. This should
allow you to access the Personal workbook.

No I haven't actually, I will try that. Once I find it though, how do I
get rid of it to stop it from opening each time I open Excel? I remember
somebody doing this once before and it caused us endless problems.

Thanks again.

Hi Louise,

This is just an expansion on Penri's answer as he/she has hit it bang on the button - it may may it quicker than searching for the XLstart folder:

* To close the personal.xls file & learn where it is stored (for deletion):
Follow Penri's suggestion of unhiding [alt + w + u], check the File-Properties (ie [alt + f + i]), choose the "General" tab, read/copy the "location", close the file, go to the location & delete file if desired.

Just out of curiosity, what sort of "endless problems" did you experience?

THank yo for your reply.
The problem last time was every time Excel was opened, the personal workbook
was opened too by default, rather than just Book1, so we always had to close
it before we started to use Excel.
