Something Strange Happens on My Excel Workbook
Hello all,
I have an Excel file that I created from scratch. Somehow, whenever I open that Excel file, it opens two, and the file name shows the file name pluses ":1" and ":2" on the title bar. For example, I open that file (ExcelFile.xls), and the ExcelFile.xls opens two (because I can see both under Window on the menu bar). Each one is labeled on the title bar as "ExcelFile.xls:1" and "ExcelFile.xls:2". Does anyone have a similar experience? What causes that problem, and how can it fix it? Thanks. |

You have 2 windows of the same workbook open and then you saved. Just close
one of the windows and then save -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Accesshelp" wrote in message ... Hello all, I have an Excel file that I created from scratch.

Hi,
You've accidentally got two windows open with the same file by inadvertantly clicking on WindowNew Window. Select one of the windows (Not the Excel application) and Close to have one Window remaining and save that. Mike "Accesshelp" wrote: Hello all, I have an Excel file that I created from scratch.

It doesn't matter how you open the file, you have already saved the file
with 2 windows open. Why don't you try Mike's and mine solution -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Accesshelp" wrote in message ... Mike, Thanks for your response.

Hi,
Did you try what I suggested? At some time in the past you (or someone else) has accidentally clicked on New Window and having done so you will get 2 windows until you follow the directions I gave you.
