MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / March 2008excel - new windows
when i click on an ecel file icon, the file is opened by excel. when i click on another excel icon, that file too is opened in excel but in the same instance as the first one. how can i set things up so that clicking on an excel icon opens the file in its own window (instance of excel) ? Tools - Options - View tab - Windows in Taskbar. They're really one instance of Excel -- You'll see them in Window (Menu Bar) of any workbook window. If that don't get it none, tell which version of Excel you're using.

If you truly want a new instance of Excel for every open workbook, go to Tools>Options>General and checkmark "Ignore Other Applications". You may change your mind when you start to bog down due to too many resorces being wasted.
