exporting from acess to excel with vba, saves multiple workbooks?

[wh0wants2know]

I'm trying to create an excel spreadsheet from my access application and when I try to use the save method, it only saves one .xls file, called test.xls. however, when I open test.xls, the correct spreadsheet comes up and a second one opens that is similar to the first and called "book2.xls" and it just sits there, and then when I close book2.xls, it asks me if i want to save it (i haven't changed anything in this file) but then when i close test.xls, it just closes and doesn't prompt me to save it unless i actually make any changes to it. where the hell is this other file coming from? I only want one file to open.
