When you refer to sheets, what do you actually mean. Are you saying that
Excel opens one file, but then keeps on adding worksheets non stop, in other
words, in stead of the normal 1, 2 or 3 sheets, it keeps adding new sheets.

Or do you mean that when you open Excel, it opens one workbook after the
other, each containing the normal 1, 2 or 3 worksheets. If so, are these
already existing files that is being opened, or are these named Book 1, Book
2, Book 3 and so on?

Sorry, but your question as it is phrased is a bit ambiguous. Elaborating a
bit might get you a result!

Hi

I'm using MS Office 2000 with XP professional SP2.

Lately when opening Excel (fresh or existing xls file), it just kept
opening, non-stop, from sheet 1 and going on until I press Esc key.

However, after pressing the Esc key to stop the automatic opening of the
unwanted sheets, the program functions normally.

When closing Excel, I have to close all the unwanted opened-sheets first
before the program can exit.

Any help to retify this problem is much appreciated.
