opening multiple Excel 2007 files in same window (instance)
Hi,
Whenever I open a file from outlook via link or an attachment, the files open in different window (instance). When this happen, I cannot use my ctrl+tab to switch between different files or when I do vlookup between 2 different files, it will not work. How do I go about fixing this? Thanks! |

Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on
the file in windows explorer: Tools|Options|General|Uncheck "Ignore other applications" (xl2003 menus) or Office Button|Excel Options|Advanced|General|Uncheck "Ignore other applications" --- or --- Close Excel and Windows Start Button|Run excel /unregserver then Windows Start Button|Run excel /regserver The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets some of the windows registry to excel's factory defaults. ============= If that fails, you can always save the attachment and then use File|Open (or xl2007's equivalent) to open that file.
