Default 2 versions of Excel file opens

I'm not sure if this is an error or just some setting we accidently
triggered. When we double click on a certain file there are two versions of
the same file that open simultaneously. One list the file name in the window
as a ":1" and the other a ":2".

All other files are working normally it's just this one. We did a save as
to another name but still the same issue. Please help.

You have opened a second window into that same workbook.

If you want to close one, just click on it and hit ctrl-w

Remember to save the workbook before you close--else you'll be doing it again.

Debra Dalgleish has some instructions with pictures:

This can be caused by using:
Window|New window
(maybe followed by window|arrange)

It can be quite useful to see different ares of the same workbook (even same
worksheet) at the same time.
