Multiple excel sessions
I am using excel 2003 and all was fine until recently when opening an excel
file from explorer instead of opening it in my already open session it started opening up new sessions so I would in no time at all end up with half a dozen open excel sessions. I prefer to toggle between files in the same session. I managed to fix this, I cant remember how and it was fine for a few weeks but has now suddenly reverted again. I have tried toggling the tools/options/view/windows in task bar and tools/ options/general/ignore other applications as suggested in some help which is how I may have fixed it last time but to no avail. -- rita |

Try
Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar 1) Start-Run- excel.exe /unregserver -OK. 2) Start-Run- excel.exe /regserver -OK. See the space between exe and /regserver You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe (most likely C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11) In that case Start-Run- "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\excel.exe" /regserver - OK Note that quotes are required because of spaces in the path "rita" wrote: I am using excel 2003 and all was fine until recently when opening an excel file from explorer instead of opening it in my already open session it started opening up new sessions so I would in no time at all end up with half a dozen open excel sessions.
