Hi Hday, sounds as if, when you save the sheet to your desktop you didnt give
it another name. Try right click and then rename - just add a 1 - should be
ok i hope!

Hi hope somebody can help me.
I have created and saved a spreadsheet to the desktop.
Whenever I try to open this sheet from the desktop, I get the message" A
document with the name "Mysheet.xls" is already open. You cannot open two
documents with the same name, even if the documents are in different folders.
To open th second document, either close the document thay's currently open,
or rename one of the document.
I have done all this, but to no avail. If I open Excel first then open the
spreadsheet all is fine. I just cannot open straight from the desktop. Can
anybody help please.
Reagrds.
Hday
