Fred,

I have two monitors, but don't see why you need two instances of Excel.
Maximise Excel to cover both screens, add 2 workbooks. Window, arrange,
vertical.
Two views of same workbook: add 1 workbook, Window, New Window, Window,
arrange, vertical.
The only downside is that you have your toolbars on the left monitor.
Am I missing something?
Separate instances of Excel are possible, but you'll only be able to open
two workbooks, not two views of the same book.

Now that I have dual monitors (forming one logical desktop), I'd sure
love to be able to open a workbook in a second instance of Excel so
that I could display one workbook on the main monitor and the second
workbook on the secondary monitor. Any way to make a workbook
"detachable" or whatever? Even better, detach a worksheet in a
workbook and move it to the secondary monitor?

Excel 2000 running on Windows 2000 with all updates.

If I "upgrade" to XP and/or Office 2003 will that give me the
capability?

Many thanks,

Fred Holmes
