How are you opening the file? From the Excel Office Button, Open command or
some other way? Try opening the file from inside of Excel. It sounds like
you are opening a separate copy of Excel by double-clicking the file in the
Windows Explorer.

If this helps, please click the Yes button

When I open an existing file in Excel, Excel opens with no worksheets
showing. I click the Red X to close Excel. Excel closes and behind it is
the file I was trying to open. Why is this happening and how can I fix it.
