New Workbook Defaults to Personal.xls

[Henry Stockbridge]

Hi,

Whenever I start a new instance of Microsoft Excel, the default
filename is Personal.xls, instead of Book1 (or whatever...)

Since I have some procedures built into my Personal Macro Workbook, can
I change the default name of a new Excel workbook?

Any help you can lend would be appreciated.

It sounds like your personal.xls workbook is visible (most people have this
workbook opened as a hidden workbook).

Open excel
with personal.xls the active workbook
window|hide
and close excel

You'll be prompted to save personal.xls (because of that change to hidden).
Select yes.

Now close excel and reopen it to test it out.

Dave,

Thanks for the tip. Now I'm set.
