They're the same workbook, just two windows into it. Close all but one
window and the ":x" will go away.

Hi everyone,

I have a user who when he opens a workbook two versions of the same workbook
are opened. In the titlebar the name of the work book appears with the two
versions of the same work book denoted by the name followed by a :1 or :2
depending on the version of the workbook. My question is how to I combine
these versions so there i only one version of the work book displayed?

Please help.

JG.
