Autmatically Opening files with Excel Startup

[Geri]

My problem is, I have about three files that I have in the
XLStart folder, my Personals with all my Macros and two
used car inventory sheets (I work for a car dealer).
Every morning, I would have windows automatically open
Excel and when I got to work, I had my inventory sheets
waiting for me. One day, I got to work and about five
people hit me up with problems before I even got to my
desk (yes, it was a Monday!). I had to get to a program
on my computer and hurriedly closed all the open windows.
Excel gave me an error message, which I immediatly closed
without reading and ever since, I couldn't open the files
in my XLStart file automatically. What the heck did I do
and how do I fix it? I can open these files
manually...but what fun is that?

If you're using xl2002, it tries to protect you from files that it figures are
bad (and it might be mistaken, too).

Start Excel
Help|About Microsoft Excel|Click on the Disabled Items button

And try to enable them.

If you're not using xl2002, then this ain't it.

You have verified that those files are still in the XLStart folder, right?

Dave Peterson, you are my hero! Thank you so much! After
I read your reply, I dialed into my computer with my
pcAnywhere and repaired it! I ALMOST can't wait for
tomorrow for all my inventories to be waiting for me!


Thanks again!
