It sounds like there's a file in your autorecovery folder that isn't being
deleted.

Tools|Options|Save tab will give you the folder location for that file.

Close excel
Use windows explorer to traverse to that folder.

I'm guessing that you have a file with an extension of .XAR that's not being
deleted.

If excel closed normally (no crashes), then try deleting an .xar files you find
there. (If you're nervous, you could move them to another location--just in
case.)

Then restart excel to see what happens.

As the title says, every second time i open Excel 2003(opening Excel
itself, not an Excel document) the document recovery pane opens. I have
tried to open each of the doucments in the recovery pane then close them
but the same ones still come back the next time. Office is installed on
Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition and all the users use terminal server
to access Excel etc. The same problem occurs just opening Excel on the
server.

I also click on the show errors option and that tells me that 'no
errors were detected in (File Name) no repairs were necessary'.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
