I tried that and I now get 2 workbooks opening at startup. The startup.xls
file has my preferred formating but the book1.xls has the Excel defaults. Do
you know how I can make the default file not appear at startup?

Thanks,
Kent

Book.xlt will not open upon startup.

This is a Template(*.xlt) and only appears when adding a new workbook.

Make a copy of that book.xlt and save as a regular *.xls file........startup.xls

Store this workbook in the XLSTART folder usually located at........

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

starts up. The book.xlt works fine when adding a new workbook, the only
problem is the startup file. Any ideas?
