I have several macros stored in my Personal Macros workbook. When I try to run one of them, I get the following error message:

"Cannot run the macro 'PERSONAL.XLSB!Delete_Rows'. The macro may not be available in this workbook or all macros may be disabled."

When I go to the VBA window and click on 'run macro', it runs perfectly. I've checked the Trust Centre settings, which allow macros to run and the other macros stored in the Personal workbook work as expected.

Any thoughts, please?

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.

To add to the query - if I use Alt+F8 and select the required macro it works!
