Excel Visual Basic error File already exists (Error 58)

When I open any spreadsheet in Excel I immediately get this error:
Microsoft Visual Basic
File already exists

I've done some research and found it's File already exists (error 58) and
it's trappable....but I don't know exactly what that means.

Can someone please tell me why this is happening, and tell me if I can make
it go away. It isn't that big of a deal becuase I click ok and my
spreadsheet still opens, it's just annoying.

If this is happening no matter what spreadsheet you are opening, then it
might be either a macro in your personal macro workbook or an add-in, that is
then trying to create a file.

I would start by looking in the Visual Basic Editor at any code that might
be contained within the Personal Macro Workbook or any add-ins.

It is almost certainly and add-in and probably one added by Adobe. Try
looking under Tools>Add-ins... and uncheck anything there, then add one back
at a time re-starting Excel each time. When it comes back,that's the faulty
one

Thank you Nick, This finally got that annoying message off my system. This
completely made sense, I had to upgrade my adobe a few weeks ago and had
nothing but problems with it.
