GWXL97.xla is some GroupWise add-in, probably for viewing Excel files from
GroupWise without opening Excel or something.  The problem started when my
GroupWise client was upgraded from 5.5 to 6.5, so this fits.   I'm guessing
the
upgrade created the extra XLSTART folder in the wrong place and that was the problem.

I am so happy this is solved!!!!!!!   :)
