Personal macro workbook

[metsmaniac]

I'm using a new laptop. I have many macros stored on my old PC in my Personal.xlsb file in my XLSTART folder.

I copied that file into the XLSTART file on my new laptop. When I click a macro icon, I get a message reading "Sorry, Excel can't open two workbooks with the same name at the same time."

There is no 2nd Personal.xlsb file. I click View>Unhide, and only one Personal.xlsb file is shown.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

I'll give a guess: from your menu File / Options / select Advanced / in the General section / check if the box labeled "At startup, open all files in" is compiled. If so, maybe Personal.xlsb is launched by this the first time and then it's attempting to open a second time when you click a macro icon.

Thanks. I don't have a box to check:

Sorry, bad guessing?. No other idea.
