You obviously don’t write brilliant code if you have an error, so get your head out of your ass.

About the Personal.xls message, I deleted the file from the Excel Startup directory, and to my surprise “Personal.xls locked for editing” has stopped appearing.

Thanks, Jon, for the add-in advice – I’m sure that is the perfect solution – for now I’m using a far less elegant way around personal.xls to create my application-level routine.

This EAT add-in has a bunch of other utilities, is free and can be found on http://www.exworks.be.

If you use windows explorer to mark your personal.xls as ReadOnly, then excel will not prompt you when opening the second instance.

And because you’ve marked it readonly, you’ll know not to edit any code in personal.xls!

Absolutely, all my tools are in addins.
But they lock too. I write incredibly brilliant code in instance 2 from time to time, just to find that it refuses to save. Didn’t even warn me…

The post also mentions ASAP Utilities which is not only free but also contains lots of other user-friendly tools (I know ASAP has been mentioned in this blog before but I thought it was worth another mention for the “Remove Hyperlinks” tool)…
