Hi
I am new to VBA for Excel,and have enjoyed studying this language. I am worried that an unauthorized macro is running. When I boot Excel, the PERSONAL file opens. Besides the file Personal XLS, another file, FUNCRES.XLS appears in the list of projects, even though no other worksheet is opened. When i click on the "plus" symbol, the FUNCRES project asks me for a password. Is there a way to get rid of this thing?

Why can't spreadsheets drive cars? They crash too often!
The Personal.xls is a special workbook in the excel startup folder where you can store custom procedures and functions for use whenever you open excel. Personal.xls is created the first time you choose to store a recorded macro in Personal Macro workbook. Thereafter, it is opened in hidden mode whenever excel is started.

FUNCRES.XLS is the filename of the Analysis Toolpack Add-in, which provides a number of additional functions. It is password protected by MS.

Hence, no cause for worry!

Thank-you Sitaram...and one more question

Just tonght, I did notice that FuncresXLS was an add-in. Thank you very much. Also, you write
<<,hereafter, it is opened in hidden mode whenever excel is started. >>>

but my "Personal.XLS" is actually physically is visible as a spreadsheet each time I open Excel. Can I retur it to "hidden" mode?
Thanks again...
