How do I open a spreadsheet so that opens in a new instance of excel each time?
 
Oh that's easy. Put a shortcut to Excel on your desktop, open two instances
of Excel from it.

Then open the files either from Excel, or via Windows Explorer.
 
You can do this but you need to have some basic knowledge of VBA. You need
to write some code to open a new workbook and copy data from the original
source into the new workbook. Try looking for VBA examples on the net.
 
Okay I think I confused the issue. I used to be able to go into a folder
double click a file and it would open in a new instance of excel. Now if i
double click a file it opens in an already opened excel window. How do I get
back to the first way?
