I posted the following nearly two weeks ago but received no response
(maybe it didn't get out?) -- I'd really like to know how a -37 happens.

  I typically start Excel by double clicking a renamed "resume" type
  file which automatically opens up a macro file of my "utility" command
  macros.

  Often when I double click this file, I get an alert saying there was
  an error (I don't remember the actual text) with file I/O, type -37.
  If i clear the alert (press OK) and double click the same file, Excel
  starts up normally. . . .

  The usual stuff: This has happened with Excel 1.03, and 1.5; System
  5.0 and 6.0.2; under Multifinder (I don't run often without) on 2.5
  Meg Plus and SE.  Also a goodly collection of INITs including Suitcase
  (1.2 and II), Pyro! (2.? and 3), and others.  And TMON (usually).  I
  tried rebuilding the desktop and it didn't help.

All the files (Excel, the resume file, the data files) are on the same
hard disk (which is also the startup disk).

        Thanks / JBL
