Are you sure that it's two files, and not two windows on the same file? If
the latter, the windows would be labelled with a :1 and :2 at the end of the
workbook name. If this is the case, close one window (blue X below the red
X at the top right-hand corner), then save the workbook before closing the
workbook.

Hi Gord,

I searched for xlw file, but can't find it, I tried to move all
speadsheets
to a new blank and save it as regular file, but it still open another
related
workbook when I open new file. It is annoying...

Don't know how to get rid of it.

Thanks
Hank

Sounds like the two files were saved as a "workspace"

Make sure each workbook is saved and closed independently.

Look for *.xlw and delete it.

The two files will not be deleted.
