PERSONAL(AutoRecovered).xlsb Problem

[Andy0311]

Hello,

I discovered something today which scared me. Yesterday I had a PersonalXLSB workbook with a number of macros stored. Today, I saw a Personal(AutoRecovered)XLSB workbook with the same macros but named with the Personal(AutoRecovered).xlsb!macro name. I do not know how this happened, except that I did something dumb. At least I didn't lose my macros. Can anyone tell me what I did, and what I should do next? Thanks for your help.

Most likely, the Excel application was closed unexpectedly, possibly while you were away from your computer, and started again by your operating system. If you are content that your Personal.xlsb workbook has everything you expect it to have, then open Excel>View>Unhide and click on the auto recovered version and close it. You should get a message box asking if you wish to save it. Click No.

Thanks, Joe! Works fine now.
