Excel Instances
My coworker is having a hard time getting more than one workbook to open in a
single instance of Excel. It seems that no matter how we try to open the second workbook, a new instance of Excel is opened. "Ignore other applications" is not selected in Tools - Options. For kicks I tried selecting that as an option and it made no difference. Excel continued to open a new instance with every new file. Any suggestions? |

you COULD open workbook2 from File/Open, rather than double-clicking in
windows explorer. "StephanieH" wrote in message ... My coworker is having a hard time getting more than one workbook to open in a single instance of Excel.

maybe...
Close Excel and Windows Start Button|Run excel /unregserver then Windows Start Button|Run excel /regserver The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's factory defaults.

What makes you think there are two instances? Two Excel icon on the taskbar
does not necessarily mean you have two instances - see Tools|Options;open View tab;check if 'Windows in Taskbar' is checked. This is a handy way of going from one book to another, best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "StephanieH" wrote in message ...
