Duplicate File Message opening an Excel 97 file from Windows Expl.

[Guest]

When I open an Excel 97 file from Windows Explorer or the Documents menu of
the Start button, the document opens, and I get a message that "A document
with the name "XXXXX" is already open. You cannot open two documents with
the same name, evan if the documents are in different folders." If I start
Excel, firs, I don't get this message.
