why do 5 workbooks open when I double click one
I double click on an Excel file and 4 or 5 files open simultaneously.

you have workbooks stored in your XLStart folder, a hidden folder that you
could put workbooks in it in order to open workbooks automatically once you open excel. to get rid of this problem, you have to turn on "show hidden fikes" in windows. to do this, double click on my documents -- go to tools,folder options, underf iles and folders, check "show hidden files and folders" radio button then click ok. go tothe path below, assuming C is the letter for your hard drive, and ofcourse User is your user name. make sure there is nothing under XLSTART Folder, once you delete all the workbooks in this folder. you shouldn't have this problem when you start excel next time.... C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART let me know if this helps... _______________________ Thanks, salah http://leitek.com "dnlighting" wrote: I double click on an Excel file and 4 or 5 files open simultaneously. |

Have you got an entry on the "Alternate startup file location"
(ToolsOptionsGeneral) This extract is from the helpfile:- Specify an additional startup folder Caution Because Microsoft Excel will attempt to open every file in the additional startup folder, make sure you specify an empty folder or a folder that contains only files that Excel can open.
