Hi

I'm using MS Office 2000 with XP professional SP2.

Normally, when open Excel, a copy of spreadsheet displays with left lower
corner shows Sheet1.

Lately when I start Excel, it keeps opening Sheet1, Sheet2, .... and keeps
going on few
hundred Sheets, OR, when I open an existing saved xls file, the unwanted
Sheets
keep opening, until I press the Esc key.

I can work as usual on the spreadsheet and saved to a xls file, and I must
close all the unwanted Sheets (the number of Sheets that opened depend on
when I pressed the Esc key) to exit the Excel program.

How to solve this problem of the unwanted Sheets that automatically open
when I
start the Excel programe, whether from Excel.exe or opening an existing
saved xls
file?

Any help to retify this problem is much appreciated.

You seem to be describing something different than this, but let's be sure.
Go to Tools/Options in Excel's menu and select the General tab on the dialog
box that appears. What number do you have in the field labeled "Sheets in
new workbook"?
