Next guess...

Check to see if there's something in your XLStart folder. Maybe there's a
workbook that doesn't belong. Try moving everything out of there (with excel
closed) and then restart excel to test.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the response.

I looked in the Properties of my desktop icon as you
suggest...that's where I normally start Excel from.
Under the "Shortcut" tab the "Target" box is greyed out
with the following in it..."MicroSoft Office 2000
Premium" (w/o the quotes). No "/e" there or in any of
the other options.

What next?

One way to stop excel from opening with a new book
visible is to change the
shortcut that you use to start excel.

If you check your shortcut (rightclick on it and select
properties), look to see
if there's a "/e" (w/o the quotes) at the end of the
Target box.

Would really like to know what I did and how to correct
it...??

When I open Excel now, it opens, but not to a new book,
no to any book. It use to open to a new book. Not
sure
what I did, but have looked for a setup for this and
can't find one. Any help would be appreciated.
