Excel 2010 Irregularities

[waholtmn]

I'm totally stumped....

If I open an exisiting workbook straight from the file icon itself my PERSONAL.XLSB and Personal.xlsx do not automatically open even though they are both in the XLSTART folder. Now if I open Excel straight away, I do not get a new blank worksheet but my PERSONAL files are open and hidden. So I have two issues to resolve.

1. Open a new blank worksheet when Excel is opened directly.
2. Have my PERSONAL files open automatically when I open an existing Excel file directly.

I have scoured the web and many, many, many forums with no working solutions found.

Please help as I have macros that I want to run when I open a file directly.

i waholtmn,

I too have wondered this and think they do it different in Excel 2010 than before versions. My closest guess comes on

Please let us know if this works for you. I'd like to have a better answer than just pointing you to a website.

I doubt if you actually have a personal.xlsx, that format cannot support macros.
