Should I always run Exl-Plan by clicking on its menu option or icon within the Start menu or Program Manager?
This option/icon is set up during installation of Exl-Plan and can be used to load Excel plus the supplied EXLPLAN.XLS file. It is really intended only for first-time use. Once Exl-Plan has been fully installed, you should access Exl-Plan by running Excel and then use its File | Open dialog to load Exl-Plan files, usually in the C:\EXL* folder or directory. This suggestion is consistent with our advice that users should make regular copies of their Exl-Plan files, to ensure minimal reworking in the event of system/software problems, using file names (e.g. PLAN-1.XLS, PLAN-2.XLS and so on).
