July PC magazine has an interesting idea listed on page 401 in the
spreadsheets column - shows how to use an autoload Excel macro to add menu
bar choices within excel.  After creating the macro, the author says to
make it start automatically each time you load windows, include the
following command in the [windows] section of the Win.ini:

	run=<macrofile.xlm>

I've just tried this with windows 3.0, and each time windows starts, I get
the message 'file not found...etc' - this happens even if I include
absolute path info.

There is another section of Win.ini set aside for Excel, and I tried
including the line there (it seems more logical there, anyway), but still
no luck.

Any ideas??  Is this not a feature of the new version of Windows, or the
Excel upgrade??

Thanks,
