2 mirror files with :1 and :2 - why?
Not sure how, but have 1 excel file, lets call it FILEA.xls and when I open
it, it opens a FILEA:1 and a FILEA:2 workbook. Any change made to FILEA:1 gets repeated in FILEA:2 and vice versa. Looks like some sort of mirroring, or changes being tracked, but track changes is turned off. Any help is appreciated! |

Hi
you've opened two windows of the same workbook (from the window /new window menu) - just close one and then save - this should solve the problem Cheers JulieD "DJR" wrote in message ...

Julie,
Thats not it, closing one file closes the other. The 2 files are tied at the hip somehow and whatever happens to one happens to the other. Very strange!

JulieD wants you to close one of the windows--not the workbook.
Click on the window you don't want anymore (book1.xls:2 (:2??)), then hit ctrl-w to close that window. Don't forget to save the workbook the way you like it. Debra Dalgleish has nice pictures at: http://www.contextures.com/xlfaqApp.html#TwoWindows If you want to (carefully) hit one of those X's to close the window.
