Menu updates, Administrator VS limited account

[Tim Coddington]

When I update my Excel menu (by hand) as an administrator, the system is
kind enough to save my updates from session to session. When I go over to
my limited access account, I can still update my menus, but the updates do
not presist when closing and re-opening Excel. What do I need to do to get
that to work? Can I get by without giving my limited account administrator
access?

Find the folder which contains the xlb file (Usually in your profile)
eg. For Excel 2003 on Windows XP, it lives as C:\Documents and Settings\<my
username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\Excel11.xlb

Check the permissions on the folder and the file.

Am using Windows XP, Office 97. Searched where you said and then my C:\
drive and
could not find any .xlb file. Was my search wrong or does Office 97 use a
different technology?

I think under Office 97, the default location of that file is
C:\Windows\username8.xlb
