at startup, i would like a specific workbook to open.

[Dave o]

i hav machine that uses excel to log die cast information. the machine will
automatically have the attached computer start excel.
i have a specific worksheet that i created i would like to have started,
otherwise it is a 15 minute process to format the sheet to specific criteria.
How how how do i do this?
(it tried to use the "tools-options-general", but that just takes me to a
specific path - it does not allow me to input a specific workbook. i.e.
\place1\place2\place3\workbook1.xls)
thanks

Try this:

Once yuo have created the file, saved the file and exited Excel, move the
file to your XLSTART folder and see if it automatically opens the next time
you start Excel on that machine.

The Tools > Options > General At startup open all files in

should also work.
