Hi, I have a question about Personal Macro Workbook.
I'm planning to customize the Ribbon and make some tabs for macros, and I want to add macros from Personal Macro Workbook.
So I created one by recording a macro, and now I want to find PERSONAL.XLSB because the workbook I'm working on now will be distributed to other people.
But when I go to %Appdata%\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART (my OS is win10), I don't see any file, as in the picture below.
This is the path that the immediate window gave me when I asked "?ThisWorkBook.Path".
Any idea why this happens? Thanks for your help in advance.

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Wild guess: Is your system set to display hidden files? Also, If you want to share macro's with co-workers, please do not overwrite their personal.xlsb. Instead create an add-in: Excel: Create Addins

Thank you, Jan. I guess I don't need to try to find the file anymore.
I'll learn how to create an add-in instead, as you suggest. Cheers.
