Does your book.xlt have the 1st sheet hidden?

If you have a template workbook named book.xlt in your XLStart folder, then
maybe it is missing sheet1.

Bingo!

I went to program files > office XLStart and indeed saw that I had the 1st
sheet hidden. when I unhid it was prompting me to save. So I exited xl and
then right clicked on book.xlt opened it and unhid and then now I have the
3 sheets.

Thankyou

Feels great to be associated with you.

Hi,

Expanding on the two previous suggestions since you may not know where =
the default workbook is kept or how to modify it:

The default workbook, which is usually named Book.xlt is generally =
located in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 11\XLStart =
folder. (note Office 11 is just one possibility depending on the =
version of Excel you are using.) You can always do a window's search =
for XLStart.

Open the file in Excel using File, Open. Modify the file as necessary - =
1. Unhide Sheet1 if its hidden, 2. Add Sheet1 if it has been deleted.

There is one other possible cause of your problem - there could be a =
Workbook_Open macro that either hides or deletes sheet1 every time you =
open the file. This could be located in the Book.xlt file, the Personal =
Macro Workbook, or some add-in.

Cheers,
