Excel workbook opens a new workbook

[keithl816]

Hi all,

I tried asking this question on a different forum and didn't get a
reply and am hoping someone here can help me. Here recently I have
noticed that when I open a workbook named (Monthly), another blank
workbook (Book1) opens also, This happens on any of the files I open,
what can I do to stop this second blank workbook from opening. I don't
see anything in the Options menu that would turn it off.

Thanks,

Larry

If you have a file in your XLStart folder called book.xlt, Excel
will create a new file when you start Excel.

Hi Chip,

Nothing in the XLStart. There is a file EXCEL11.xlb outside of th
folder. Looking at another computer I noticed that it does not hav
.xlb at the end of Excel. Could this be the problem?

Thanks,

Larr
