...
I double click on a spreadsheet and it opens, but it also opens the
default
book1.
If I only open excel and close book1 and then open a spreadsheet there is
no
issue.

So why is excel wanting to open the default book when opening an already
created excel doc and second, how can I disable or resolve this issue to
not
open the book1 when opening a spreadsheet but still have it open book1
when I
simply open excel only?

Thanks in advance,

Newtek
