Why is it that Excel 2002 (XPpro) loses the ability to open all the files in the specified location, namely PERSONAL.XLS? Twice now I have had to move the specified location in order for it to do that!?
So instead of the default:
C:\Documents and Settings\DOSrelic\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART
I had to create:
C:\Documents and Settings\DOSrelic\My Documents\MS-OFFICE\msEXCEL\VBA
and now:
C:\Documents and Settings\DOSrelic\My Documents\MS-OFFICE\msEXCEL\VBA\#2 :roll:
It seems to mark the old folders as inaccessible so I have to make another? How can I reverse that please? Repairing it does nothing and having to be asked to manually open the Macros spreadsheet is very unprofessional! :huh:
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks. :lol:
