Excel is opening new instances when it shouldn't
Gord - the DDE option was the issue. Somebody's add-in that I was trying to
test crashed Excel pretty hard. I suspect that was the villain.
Thanks.

I would suggest you re-register Excel
Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar
StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.
See the space between exe and /regserver
You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe.
In that case StartRun "C:\yourpath\excel.exe" /regserver(quotes
required)OK

A week or so ago I did *something* that has messed with my settings/config.
Now, with Excel ALREADY open, double clicking a file from Windows Explorer
causes a new Excel instance to start. Ditto when opening a mail attachment.
Other Office apps appear to be unaffected.
What's the solution? Anybody? Anybody? Beuhler?
