When opening XL I get the following message ............
"A document with the name "*.xls " is already open " ...etc
I've learned to ignore the message and it doesn't seem to affect anything
BUT does anyone know why I get this message.
I like to solve problems not ignore them ..............

Merci

First try the standard fix(es)......Tools>Options>General uncheck "ignore
other applications"

OR Start>Run "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes and note the space before the /
mark).

You may have to enter your full path to excel.exe....in that case surround
with quotes as in..... "C:\mypath\to Excel\somewhere\excel.exe" /regserver
