I have created a customized toolbar using macros in Excel 2010 on a Windows 7 operating system. The macros are stored in PERSONAL.XLSB (i.e. they are global and can be used on excel document). Only when multiple instances of Excel (e.g. opening more than 1 excel file) are opened in Caseware Working Papers 2012 (Version 2012.00.033 (Release 2)), do we get the following error message:

"FILE IN USE
PERSONAL.XLSB is locked for editing
by [User]
Open 'Read-Only' or click 'Notify' to open read-only and receive notification when the document is no longer in use.

Button options: "Read only", "Notify" and "Cancel".

For now, we click on "Read only" and we can still use the customized toolbar on all excel documents.

Is there any way to resolve this issue such that users are not having to click on "Ready only" every time they want to open multiple instances of Excel inside Caseware? (This does not happen outside of Caseware).

Thanks.
