Without explanation I have 2 different files that whenever I open them in
Excel, 2 workbooks open, both with the same name. I can switch between the 2,
and changes to the one are refleceted in the other. I can't figure out how to
get back to just a single instance of the workbook.

Thanks MUCH!

Hi Dave,

This is the result of Window | New.

To remove the extraneous window, click the X close button at the top right
of the document window - not the Excel window!

Close one. Save the file. Re-open. Should be fixed.

This can generally be re-created by openeing any file, choosing Windows
New Window, and then saving it.

Select the window that you don't want.
hit ctrl-w
save the workbook or you'll have to do it again next time.

Clicking the "close" button for one of the workbooks did the trick.

Thanks much for your help.

Hi Dave,

Clicking the "close" button for one of the workbooks did the trick.

Good - but note Dave Peterson's advice about saving the file!
