Why can't you open both workbooks in the same session of excel?

Open excel and then use File|Open (twice) to open both files????

I can't open two workbooks at the same time in one version of Excel. To get
around this I opened Excel twice and opened one workbook in each version.
Now I realize that I can't copy formulas between the two versions, it only
gives me a static value when I try. Is there anyway to open these two
workbooks in the same version of Excel or copy formulas from one version of
Excel to the other? Both workbooks I'm using are basically the same, both
about 10,000 kb in size.

Thanks
