When I open a Excel file I invariably get an error
message as follows: "A document with the same name is
already open. You cannot open two documents with the same
name even if the docs are in different folders....etc."

There's an "OK" button which I click, the message goes
away and everything is fine. How can I end this annoyance?

Try this Ed

Tools>Options>General uncheck "Ignore other Applications"
Exit Excel and try again

If this doesn't work try to re-register Excel

On the Windows Taskbar
Close Excel
Start>Run "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.
See the space between exe and /regserver

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe.
In that case Start>Run "C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.
