xlstart not starting file

[Patrick]

Office 2007 and windows XP

I have a .xlam file which contains macros which I wish to load hen excel
starts

It is in the folder
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

and it used to load with excel but it has stopped loading.

What has changed ? or how do I get it to autoload again?

(a regular xls file in the same folder loads ok so its something to do with
the file type?)

Thanks

The only way I know of for a file in XLSTART not it load at startup is if it
has the System or Hidden file attributes set.

Are you sure it's stopped loading or do the macros just not run? (If it's
loading but not running it will appear in the Project window of the Visual
Basic Editor [Alt-F11]).

If it is loaded make sure that that folder is still 'trusted' under Excel
Settings, Trust Center, Trust Center Settings.

Maybe it is blocked ?

Office button>Excel Options..Add-ins
In the "Manage:" dropdown (bottom of the dialog)
Choose "Disabled Items
Go
