I get no Error messages, but if I have one document open and then I try to
open another one I have to minimize the open doc in order to open the other one. "Frank Kabel" wrote: Hi sorry. What I meant: How do you try to open 2 documents and what happens then you try it.

Hi
still not sure what happens exactly for you. Maybe: - Goto 'Tools - Options - General' and uncheck 'Ignore other applications' -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany Robb wrote: I get no Error messages, but if I have one document open and then I try to open another one I have to minimize the open doc in order to open the other one.

Hi Robb,
I think you need to go to Tools Options View and make sure that "Windows in Task Bar" is checked. I don't if this is an option in 2000, but I thought I would suggest it anyway.

You can't have two workbooks with the same filename open in the same instance of
excel. But maybe just clicking on Window|and selecting your other (already) open workbook would work. Or Window|Arrange|Tiled so you can see all the open workbooks. Or ctrl-f6 to move between open workbooks. (ctrl-shift-f6 goes backward) Robb wrote: How can I have 2 excel documents at the same time??
