I wouldn't beat up on myself too much. The 'normal' use of Excel tend to
lead you away from such a solution. The fact that some applications only
permit one instance at a time to run (Outlook for instance), lead you further
away. Just glad we were able to help.

Open Excel then open one workbook. Open Excel again then open other

going that are independent of one another.

I've got a 3 monitor setup and I'd like to look at two excel spreadsheets in
two instances of excel, each maximized to one monitor.

But when I open multiple spreadsheets they're all just documents within a
MDI type interface so they're all on the same monitor (and I don't want to
extend excel to cover multiple monitors b/c they are different sizes.

Any thoughts?
