Open Multiple Excel Instances

W

Will Shell

I am only able to open multiple spreadsheets in one
instance of excel (1 excel up with 3 spreadsheets -
requires using the WINDOW command to switch between each
spreadsheet).

I used to be able to open multiple instances of excel with
each spreadsheet I opened (3 versions of excel, 3 separate
spreasheets) by simple double clicking each spreadsheet to
open.

What setting do I need to change to be able to ALT+TAB
between 3 instances of excel open with 3 separate
spreadsheets?

You may be happy with one instance of excel, but multiple icons on the taskbar
(but only if you're using xl2k or higher).

Tools|options|view|check windows in taskbar.

But if you really want separate instances, try:
tools|Options|General|check Ignore other applications
