Office 2003???

When you open the second workbook, maybe the first workbook is just hidden under
that newly opened workbook.

Window|arrange|tiled

would show you all of them.

You can select an open workbook by clicking on its name at the bottom of that
Window menu.

Or you can use ctrl-f6 and ctrl-shift-f6 to toggle between open workbooks.

ctrl-tab and ctrl-shift-tab do the same thing.

Using Microsoft Office 2004 Excel I am unable to have open only one

- the first workbook closes. This is really frustrating and I need to be
able to work with multiple workbooks. I have been unable to find how to this
problem occurred or how to fix it.
