Hi

Just recently (not sure why it has happened), when I open an excel file from
a shortcut I already had placed on my desktop, it opens the file and suffixs
the workbook name with a 1 (eg Test.xls would open as Test1.xls).

This means that it is not the actual file open, but a copy (so when I click
on save I get the save as box).

Does anyone know why this is happening and more importantly how to fix
(please!!!)

I've tried deleting the shortcut and resetting it. My Xl startup folder is
empty apart from a PDMaker.xlt file
