Opening an excel file no longer loads the personal.xlsb file or I receive a message saying it is already open, despite no other excel programs/files being open. If I open excel directly from the application, personal.xlsb loads fine and I can
then open my excel file in that opened instance of excel and access the personal file. It is cumbersome to not be able to directly open an excel file and begin working. If the excel program is opened first (directly from the application/shortcut),
then I double-click on an excel file, it opens as a separate instance of excel - not in the already opened window. It seems as though opening directly from a file does not open in a "current" instance, regardless of whether any other excel
programs/files are open. The toolbars are also often frozen when I open directly from an excel file. I can type in cells, but cannot navigate between the toolbars, save, etc. However, if I switch to a different window, program or even resize
the excel window with the frozen toolbar, the toolbars activate. Thanks for any guidance.
