Excel 2013- Opening 1 Excel file opens 2 windows!

[Viper69]

Never had this problem PRIOR to upgrading to Excel 2013. When I open a single Excel file, no matter where the file is located, desktop or in a folder etc. The file opens fine, but a second "blank" screen also opens as a result of the Personal.XLB file.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried to Unhide/Hide feature under View, no help there. I've even removed the Personal.XLB file out of the Excel start folder, and that will work, BUT then I don't have access to the Macro I made.

Any ideas appreciated. I've google'd this and the above solutions are the only ones I've come across and they don't work.

Thanks.

You could try this:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
    Windows("PERSONAL.XLSB").Visible = False
    ThisWorkbook.Save
End Sub
