Excel tries to open "other files during launch

C

CPE

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

I recently upgraded to Excel 08 given your recent addition of manual error bars....thanks for that....

When I launch Excel from the Dock or by double clicking the Excel Icon, Excel tries - it seems - to open every file type that I have opened that day.

Specifically, I get a series of error messages b/c Excel tries to open Word, PDF, and picture files even though I have not clicked on those files.

It is almost as if Excel o the: Apple->Recent Items-> Documents section of Leonard and tries to open all those documents.

If I click on OK enough times I can eventually open Excel and then eventually a document. This same phenomenon occurs even I drag an Excel file to the Dock Icon.

Any thoughts? Thanks for your time.

It sounds like you've somehow changed a setting in Excel Preferences...

Go to Excel> Preferences> General & clear the content in "At startup, open
all files in:".

I have the same problem, except worse -- Excel tries to open every file in the Documents folder. What can I do?
