problems creating personal macro workbook

[jondavis1987]

I have Excel 2013. I go to to a workbook. Click on developer tab. I click record macro and store macro in personal macro workbook. A popup says personal macro workbook in the startup folder must stay open for recording. i click ok. Another popup says unable to record. click ok and close the book and it doesn't ask me to save.

I figured it out. There was already one created but since my laptop was set up by the company IT guy there are some folders and files that are hidden. I had to unhide the folder for it to work.
