Launch new instance of Excel when opening .xls files
How do I cause a new instance of Excel to be launched when I open a .xls
file? Every time I open a .xls file it is contained in the same application instance and I want to compare the files and need room to do that. I tried opening separate windows within the application but I really need more room to do this. Thanks. |

You certainly will get more room using one maximized instance of Excel than
with two. However to do what you want you have to edit the XLS file associations in Windows Explorer to remove "use DDE". (Tools, Folder Options, File Types, XLS, Advanced, Open). -- Jim "Laura" wrote in message ... | How do I cause a new instance of Excel to be launched when I open a .xls | file?
