hi
excel remembers how many new books it has created per session and numbers
them accordingly. closing and reopening excel(new session) is the only way i
know to reset.

When you open Excel, the first workbook you get is "Book1". If you
were to close it and then open a new workbook, you would get "Book2".
Is there a way to reset this so that it defaults back to "Book1", if
there are no othe workbooks open?

Thanks in advance
