when opening an excel file, 2 files open (one is book1)?
When I click on an excel file, 2 excel documents open up. One document is
called Book1 and the other document is the actual document that I want to open. How do I stop this from happening? |

To prevent Book1 from opening you can append /e to your shortcut for opening Excel. "C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE\EXCEL.EXE" /e Alternative to the above............ Go to StartSettingsFolderOptionsFile Types. Scroll down to MS Excel Worksheet. Then if running Win98 OS Edit select "Open" and Edit. If using WinXP OS you would scroll down to .XLS then "Advanced"OpenEdit. In Command line the path should be similar to this.... "C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE\EXCEL.EXE" /e. You must have the double quotes. Below have "use DDE" checked and this in the DDE message box....[open("%1")] Application should read "Excel"(no quotes) Gord Dibben Excel MVP On Fri, 9 Dec 2005 15:38:02 -0800, "Brian" wrote: When I click on an excel file, 2 excel documents open up.
