Open and view Multiple Documents in Excel 2002

[stubnski]

I've checked the FAQ's, and searched for the answer but am unable to find it.

At my PC I am able to click on two different Excel 2002 documents and have each one open up in a new Excel instance (not a new window in Excel). When a user at a different PC, with the same version of MS Office installed on it, clicks on the same two documents it will open the documents in a single Excel instance but in different windows.

My question is - where is the setting so that each Excel document will open in a new instance?

It will work if the user starts Excel --> Open File for each document, but the user wants to be able to click on the documents and have them open in a new instance.

TIA

... When a user at a different PC, ... clicks on the same two documents ...

clicks how exactly? From Explorer maybe?

Cheers, Glenn.

Thanks for the reply Glenn,

The user has the documents saved to her dept share folder(on our file server). She double clicks the files to open them.

I accessed the files from my PC and I was able to open up two seperate excel program instances so it's not the excel files themselves. It must be a setting within Excel on her computer.
