Tip #4022 - Open Sesame!

Open
Sesame!
Do you have a workbook
(or workbooks) you, without a doubt, open every time you start up MS Excel?
Ever wish it would
magically open on its own when Excel starts?
If that sounds like
a good idea to you, I've got great news for you! That's exactly what we're
going to go over today.
The first thing you
need to do is create a folder that contains only the file(s)
you want opened with Excel's startup. (Be sure to note its location, because
you'll need that information again momentarily).
Now, we need to go
to Excel's Tools menu, Options choice.
In the Options window,
you need the General tab.
Toward the bottom
of this tab, we're looking for the "At startup, open all
files in:" field. In this field, enter the entire
pathway to the location of the folder you created.
Then click
OK.
That's it. Next time
you start your Excel, you'll find your file automatically open and ready
for editing, without any extra effort needed from you!
