Hey Excel PowerUsers...

I want to have 2 different instances of Excel running simultaneously (just
like Word) that will let me have one XLS file running independently on one
monitor and a second XLS file running indepently on a second monitor.

All of the help documentation I've found on the matter speak towards having
separate taskbar buttons representing the 2 files...however, doing that only
allows doesn't give me 2 different independently running instances...

Is there a way to do this?
 
I've been able to do what was described in the tutorial...but there's no way
to have mulitple instances for 2 unrelated workbooks? Though I understand
your logic in potential difficulties, it still seems silly that you can't do
that...

Anyway, thanks for the help.
 
You start 2 instances from the Start menu or the Quick Launch Bar. You
cannot start a second instance by double clicking a file.
 
I do this every day. It's very simple. You start two instances of XL from
the XL icon on your Desktop, Toolbar, Start Menu... Copy and paste is not a
problem.
