MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / March 2008Excel 2007 acting weird
So I go into My Documents and double click an existing Excel file to open. Seems quite normal, no? This document opens, as well as a separate file "Book1". It gets rather annoying, that I've already opened the file I want. I didn't open Excel (start w/ a blank workbook) then go File>Open. Even more annoying is that I didn't make any changes to Book1 (at least that I can see), but it asks when I try to close Excel "Do you want to save?" I did have Solver installed and enabled. I've since tried disabling, but that doesn't seem to do anything. Is this normal behavior? If not, how can I stop it? TIA KenB This is not an answer...just an additional note. I have seen this behavior in Excel 2003 as well. Dave French > So I go into My Documents and double click an existing Excel file to open. > Seems quite normal, no?

And be sure to look in all your XLStart folders. Depending on your excel upgrade paths, you may have more than one. > Solver Table 2007.xlsm > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > > > Dave Peterson SignatureDave Peterson Ken, I'm wondering if this is the same as my issue. I have a sharted excel workbook for 2007, and instead of opening the workbook on the first listed worksheet, it seems to have picked a specific worksheet for the default for opening. I tried it on a different computer and it didn't do that and opened normally. Is this similar to your issue? > So I go into My Documents and double click an existing Excel file to open. > Seems quite normal, no?

When you reopen the workbook, it'll take you back to that location. One of the special things you can do is have a macro that runs when you open that workbook. It can select any location/worksheet or range that it wants. Any chance you have a macro running that does this? > Ken, I'm wondering if this is the same as my issue.

If I open Excel (Start>Programs>Office>Excel), it gives me the single "Book1" blank workbook. If I simply double click an XLS/XLSX file in My Documents (or anywhere else), it opens that file, plus a Book1. > Ken, I'm wondering if this is the same as my issue.
