Stop "Book1" from opening from a saved file
Hopefully, the experts can help.
Everytime I open an excel file, it opens two instances. One is "Book1", which is blank. The other is the document I want. How do I stop the "Book 1" from opening and only get the file I requested? This just started recently. I am using Office 2003. Thanks! |

Stop "Book1" from opening from a saved file
How are you opening the file? Double-clicking?
Try the usual fix(es) for this problem. ToolsOptionsGeneral uncheck "Ignore other Applications" Exit Excel and try again If this doesn't work try to re-register Excel Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar 1) StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK. 2) StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK. See the space between exe and /regserver You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe. In that case StartRun "C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.

two options:
look under Tools/Options/General to check if you have entered anything in "alternate startup file location" which in general must be blank. Here you can specify files to autoload at every startup Second, do you get a macro warning when you start up? If so, you might have something hidden in the Workbook macro's.

Gord,
I tried to do this, it seem to process correctly, but I still get the same thing when I open the file. "Gord Dibben" wrote: How are you opening the file? Double-clicking?
