I had excel 2003 for many years, and it worked fine. When I opened mult.
files it only opened up one personal.xls

Now I have problem. Everytime I click on a spreadsheet to open it, it opens
a whole new excel app. and a new personal.xls.

If I have six spreadsheets open I have six personal.xls open. This never
used to happen -

any ideas?

Thanks
Andrew
