two related workfiles
Hi, I have two Excel work files related, whenever I open one it will
automatically open another one, I wonder how to turn this feature off. It's annoying. My version is MS office 2002 SP3 Thanks so much, Hank |

Sounds like the two files were saved as a "workspace"
Make sure each workbook is saved and closed independently. Look for *.xlw and delete it. The two files will not be deleted.

Hi Gord,
I searched for xlw file, but can't find it, I tried to move all speadsheets to a new blank and save it as regular file, but it still open another related workbook when I open new file. It is annoying... Don't know how to get rid of it. Thanks Hank "Gord Dibben" wrote: Sounds like the two files were saved as a "workspace" Make sure each workbook is saved and closed independently.

Are you sure that it's two files, and not two windows on the same file? If
the latter, the windows would be labelled with a :1 and :2 at the end of the workbook name. If this is the case, close one window (blue X below the red X at the top right-hand corner), then save the workbook before closing the workbook. -- David Biddulph "Hank" wrote in message ...

Where are you storing and opening files?
If you have files stored in your XLSTART folder, all will open when you start Excel. Move them out to another location..........except for any customized templates like Book.xlt or Sheet.xlt or Personal.xls Also all files in ToolsOptionsGeneral "At start up open all files in" Delete any path from that dialog box.
