Hi,

1. You may have 17 windows open on the same file. Close all but 1 and save
it.
2. You may be opening a Workspace not a Workbook and the Workspace may point
to 17 files. Don't open files with the .wlw extension.
3. You could have saved files to the \XLStart folder. These will open
automatically everytime you start Excel. Search for the XLStart folder and
remove the file from it and store them somewhere else.

Cheers,
