If you have xl2k or higher, you can change a setting.

Tools|Options|View Tab|Check windows in taskbar.

If you're using xl97, then you'll have to start two different instances of
excel--and this makes it more difficult to use data/formulas between the two
open workbooks.

Dear Receipient,

I would like to know how to open two different excel files in two
different workbooks, in other words... I want to see both files on the
taskbar and not only one of them and the other is stacked somewhere behind it.

Thanks and Regards,
