OPENING TWO DIFFERENT EXCEL PROGRAMS
 

i use to be able to open two different excel spreadsheets and it would open
up excel application program twice...where i can toggle on the task bar
between two different excel programs...but now...it just opens up one excel
program and has both spreadsheets in one instance where i have to click on
window and then pick which spreadsheet to look at.

My question is: i want to be able to go back where the two spreadsheets
were in two different instances of the excel program where it would open one
spreadsheet up in excel and open the other spreadsheet up in another excel
instance where i can toggle between both apps or spreadsheets on the task bar?

Thanks

With Windows 98 and Office 97, I'm aware of two different ways.

#1. From the Windows "Start" menu, use the cascaded menu to open Excel.
Once Excel is running, use "File Open" to open an Excel file. Repeat the
steps for the second file.

#2. Point to an Excel file on the desktop or in a folder. With the right
mouse button, click "Send To Excel". Repeat the steps for the second
file.

For #2, you might not see "Excel" in the "Send To" menu at first. To add it
there, put a shortcut to the Excel program into the folder
C:\Windows\SendTo\

By the way, if you have two files of the same name in different folders,
this allows you to have both open at the same time.
