Opening two separate instances of Excel
My users (who are accountants) use dual monitors and would like to open a different Excel file on each monitor for the purposes of reviewing changes between the two. I know that one method of doing this is by opening Excel twice with its shortcut, then highlighting one Excel window and opening an Excel file, then highlighting the other window and opening the other Excel file. Unfortunately, the software that my users use to organize the Excel files does not allow this to be done; it always opens every Excel file in the first Excel window no matter which instance is highlighted. We had a similar problem with Adobe Acrobat, but there is a command line switch that forces Acrobat to open a new instance for each file. Is there a similar switch for Excel, or some other method of forcing Excel to open a new instance of itself for each file? We are running Excel 2003 on Windows XP. Thank you in advance for your replies.

You might try going into the file associations (via Windows Explorer -> Tools, Folder Options, File Types) and for XLS files eliminate "uses DDE" from the Open command.
