Hello
I use Windows XP pro 2003 an am having trouble viewing two or more
workbooks on the screen at the same time. I've done this before but
don't remember how I did it. When I open one and minimize it and then
open another one, the second one takes the place of the first one. |

Please follow these steps and let me know if it works:
From your desktop, place your cursor over the Start button.
Right-click and select Explore.
The Explorer window should appear. Select Tools - Folder Options.
The Folder Options window appears. Select File Types tab.
Scroll down and click on (highlight) XLS Microsoft Excel Worksheet.
Once you've highlighted XLS Microsoft Excel Worksheet, click on
Advanced button. The Edit File Type window appears.
Uncheck Browse in same window by clicking on the box next to it.
Click OK to return to the Folder Options window. Select Close.
You should now be able to launch Excel files in a separate window,
containing all Excel functionality.
Looking forward to your clarification.
Best regards,
Rainbow

Ooooooooops. I spoke to soon. I did what you said and it worked
great for one time. After I responded to you and went back to do my
work I found the same problem. I double checked my settings and they
are as you indicated so what now?

Thanks for the lead. I followed the instructions therein and I can
now see multiple workbooks on the screen at the same time but I'm
afraid I have created another problem in the process because now, when
I double click a workbook I get the following message;
'C:\Documents and Settings\Carlos\My Documents\Abroad\Copy (13) of
1.xls' could not be found. Check the spelling ......
After clicking the okay button a few times the workbook finally opens
but I sure don't want to go thru this every time. If you want me to
submit this as a separate question I will be glad to do it - just let
me know. Many thanks for your help.

Since I may have helped you with one problem but caused another, I
wouldn't feel right accepting payment.
I suggest you just leave this question open in the hopes another
researcher will be able to help with your new problem.
All the best,
Rainbow
