"a document with the name" error on opening file

J

James Houston

I'm getting an error message that says "A documents with the name " &
filename & " is already open" (where filename is the actual name of the
file) when I try to open certain files in Excel 97, when I don't really have
a copy of the file in question opens. This error comes up pretty
consistantly on one file that lives on a server, but I also get it when I
try to open some local files. Anyone have any idea what would cause this &
how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Best

Jim
