Command button opening new window
Within my main form, I have command buttons that run query searches that open a new window based on the search information I input.

Stop opening multiple versions of Excel when click on xls files
Excel 2002 SP3 Win XP HE Hi, If I click on an xls file in Windows Explorer, it properly starts Excel and opens the file. However, if I need another file opened, and click on another xls file within Windows Explorer, instead of opening the file only, it starts up a new instance of Excel. So I can find myself with 3 or 4 (or more) instances of Excel running simultaneously. It's not a huge problem but I believe not necessary and would like to see if I can find a way of only opening the file in question once Excel is already opened, etc. Any ideas? Thanks.

Mac Excel 2008 breaking links when opening Windows 2003 spreadsheet?
Version: 2008 Hi, <br><br>I have a spreadsheet created with Windows Excel 2003. When it is opened with Mac 2008, some of the links in the spreadsheet become broken. Not all of the links, only a few. The spreadsheet has multiple pages, and the page name is stripped out of the links by Mac 2008. This makes this not clickable. Any Ideas? Does the service pack 1 fix this problem? <br><br>Thanks.

Wierd IE8 problem
Hi I'm using Windows 7 / IE8. My Fathers computer also uses this setup. When I view a particular web page, I see about 8 tabs on the web page.
