I am having problems switching between two similar Excel
files. I open each file in turn using the My Docs folder
window, double clicking each file name to open it. Here
is a sequence of operations:
Open file folder, double click file "A" to open.
Click file folder tab on taskbar, double click file "B"
to open.
Select textbox in file "B", click Copy icon.
Click file "A" tab on taskbar, file "B" remains on screen.
Click file "B" tab on taskbar, Excel minimizes.
Click file "A" tab on taskbar, file "B" window opens.

I also have a problem opening a second file in Excel
after I have done work with another file. I either have
to open the second file from within Excel (using File,
Open or the Open File icon), or close Excel and then open
the second file to restart Excel. If I try to open teh
second file from a file folder, nothing happens.

How can I solve this problem? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Click file "B" tab on taskbar, Excel minimizes.
Click file "A" tab on taskbar, file "B" window opens.
Click to expand...

What version of Excel are you using?
