We are updrading a PC with custom Excel macros installed. If I reinstall Excel on the new PC, how do I transfer the macros to the new PC? Will the toolbar buttons for the macros appear on the new PC?

Thanks,

Jeremy
 
Back up these files:

personal.xls
username.xlb

where "username" is the name of the user.

Do a search for these files and back them up. Put them on the new PC...

Check the XLSTART folder for any other files you may have that run macros, but it is generally personal.xls.

See for Startup folders information. Anne Troy
