I have the following code the personal.xlsb file on my desktop computer running Excel 2010 under Windows 10:

VBA Code:
Option Explicit

' might need to mark this file as 'read only' to avoid getting "open for editing" errors when opening multiple instances of Excel: https://www.systemroot.ca/2013/08/how-to-fix-file-in-use-personal-xlsb-is-locked-for-editing/

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Set xlsApp = Application
End Sub

Private Sub xlsApp_WorkbookOpen(ByVal Wb As Workbook)
    ActiveWindow.Caption = Wb.FullName
End Sub

' new code to have the title bar updated whenever the document is saved; this ensures newly-created documents will have their paths displayed

Private Sub xlsApp_WorkbookBeforeSave(ByVal Wb As Workbook, ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
    Debug.Print Wb.FullName
    ActiveWindow.Caption = Wb.FullName
End Sub

Private Sub xlsApp_WorkbookAfterSave(ByVal Wb As Workbook, ByVal Success As Boolean)
    Debug.Print Wb.FullName
    ActiveWindow.Caption = Wb.FullName
End Sub

The code sets the title bar to display the full file path whenever a file is opened or saved. The code works fine on my desktop computer, but when I copy the file to the following location on my laptop (also running Excel 2010 under Windows 10):

VBA Code:
C:\Users\Special_K\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\personal.xlsb

and then try to open an excel file, I get the following error:

Run-time error '91': Object variable or With block variable not set

In reference to the following line inside the xlsApp_WorkbookOpen(ByVal Wb As Workbook) subroutine:

ActiveWindow.Caption = Wb.FullName


How do I fix error, and why I am I only seeing it on my laptop when both computers are running the same OS and Excel versions?

Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
