How can I have 2 excel documents at the same time?? I have Excel 2000 and
for some strange reason the software doens't allow me to have 2 documents
open at the same time, I have to minimize one in order to open the other
one...

Any suggestions...

Thank you and happy new year to all...

Hi
sorry. What I meant: How do you try to open 2 documents and what happens
then you try it. What error does occur in this case

I get no Error messages, but if I have one document open and then I try to
open another one I have to minimize the open doc in order to open the other
one.

Hi
still not sure what happens exactly for you. Maybe:
- Goto 'Tools - Options - General' and uncheck 'Ignore other applications'

Hi Robb,

I think you need to go to Tools > Options > View and make sure that "Windows
in Task Bar" is checked. I don't if this is an option in 2000, but I thought
I would suggest it anyway.

You can't have two workbooks with the same filename open in the same instance of
excel.

But maybe just clicking on
Window|and selecting your other (already) open workbook would work.

Or Window|Arrange|Tiled
so you can see all the open workbooks.

Or ctrl-f6
to move between open workbooks.
(ctrl-shift-f6 goes backward)
