Excel 97

[helen]

Can anyone tell me why, when opening an Excel 97 document
(in Windows XP) I frequently (but not always) get the message:
"A document with the name xxxxx is already open. You
cannot open two documents with the same name, even if the
documents are in different folders. To open the second
document, either close the document that is currently open
or rename one of the documents."
I haven't opened two documents with the same name, so why
am I getting this message? It goes when I click on OK and
I can use the document as normal. Any ideas please?

that has happen to me also. i think it has somthing to do
witht he recovery feature of xp. it's makes backup copies.
I fixed it one time and now forget how i did it but it
keeps coming back. aggravating.
