Perhaps you saved the file with 2 separate windows open (Window New
window) ?

Using Office 2003 and Windows Xp;

I have a file with a small cell clearing macro as the only program in the
whole file. The file is a regular XLS and there is no code in any sheet
module nor in the ThisWorkbook module.

Here is the strange part. When I open this workbook, it also opens a
template of itself even though there is nothing telling it to do this.
Also,
the template of the XLS is an older version of the original...

I have checked the references in the VBE under Tools then References and
there are no references to external files. I have looked in the folder
where
the file resides and no other files exist with this name. Even if I close
all
the way out of the application, the next time I open this file, another
older
copy is opened along side.

Can anyone tell me what the h*** is going on? And, how to fix this?

Thanks much in advance.
