Topic: Excel file open in 2 locations

I want to open an Excel file in 2 or more locations in groove at the same time. The problem is when I save the files is saves as a copy now I have like 100 copies of the same file or almost the same file. I have been banging my head on my keyboard for 2 days now trying to figure this out so if anyone could help out that would be great. Thanks
Mike

Re: Excel file open in 2 locations

When Excel 2000 SR 1 opens, it opens about 15 spread
sheets and other files from all over the PC and network
drives. It looks like it's trying to open all the files
in some sort of a history. After it opens all that it
can stand you can close the ones you don't need and Excel
functions normally. I searched through the registry for
the names of some of these files and came up blank.

Re: Excel file open in 2 locations

most likely you have excel 2003 but are trying to open an excel 2007 file. With Office 2007, the file extensions changed. You need to install the compatibility patch to be able to open 2007 files
