opening multiple instances of excel
 

Hi,

I am trying to make excel open a new instance every time I click on a
file on the desktop. I just upgraded to dual monitors and I'd like to
be able to compare 2 files side by side. I can make it work if I have
one file open and then open excel through the start menu and open the
file manually, but not by launching it directly from the actual file.
I have tried optionsgeneralignore other applications, but that only
launches excel and the actual workbook fails to open, something I think
might be because of my PDFmaker macro. Sometimes i can get it to open
another instance, but it will only open 2 at a time. Is there a
general option I can change to make this happen? I am running xpsp2
with office xp. Thanks a bunch
