Desktop shortcut to a named Excel file - every time I open it adds a "1" to the file name - how to disable?
What I want to do is to create a shortcut to a spreadsheet called,
say. "finances.xls" - but when I open that shortcut it changes the name to "finances1.xls" and the user has to remember that just hitting the save icon in excel will -not- update the original file. Is there a way to turn this numbering off? |

This is generally the case when you open a Template file.
Check to see if the actual finances.xls is perhaps finances.XLT Gord Dibben Excel MVP On 27 Nov 2004 11:51:12 -0600, wrote: What I want to do is to create a shortcut to a spreadsheet called, say.
