It sounds as though you have a lot of files in your XLSTART folder, or in whatever folder you have set as the Alternate Startup Location ToolsOptionsGeneralremove the entry in Alternate Startup File location -- Regards Roger Govier "krcmd1" wrote in message ...

There isn't any entry in the Alternate Startup File field. The worksheets
that open were clearly not Excel sheets - they look like IBM macros converted into spreadsheets. Thank you for your thoughts.

Hi
You didn't say what was in your XLStart folder itself. That may be the cause of the problem. -- Regards Roger Govier "krcmd1" wrote in message ...
