I have tried to click on theĮxcel session I want it to open in to "activate" it and then go to Sharepoint or Outlook and open the excel file. My problem happens when I open a file either from Sharepoint (a shared site in Internet Explorer) or an excel attachment to an Outlook email. I can do this for any file I have on my computer (C drive) or shared drives (T drive or H drive) because I can just go to theĬhosen session and open the file there (so any file on Explore I can choose.). My problem is: I want to have 2 excel sessions open and I want to choose where an excel file is sent to open.
In the old days, I had a driver on my computer that allowed me to do this, and now I think all laptops have I am using my laptop as my primary screen and my monitor as my secondary screen. I would like to know if there is a way I can make Excel 2010 and Win7 behave the way it did before with Excel 2003 and WinXP.
I know I can do this via the Open/File menu in Excel but it's a much more onerous I want to control the number of Excel instances and determine which instance I want the file to open. I found some registry edits that will open a file in a new instance of ExcelĮVERY time. I don't really like either solution. At first, it would ALWAYS open the file in the first instance of Excel whenever I opened a file from windows explorer. However, now I have Windows 7 Pro with Excel 2010. If I click on instance #2 then open a file, it will open on instance #2.
If I click on the Excel program 1 and then go to windows explorer and openĪ file, it will open on Excel program instance #1. For example, I open Excel program instance #1 and then I open Excel program instance #2. Of Excel it would open because it opens based on the recent active Excel instance. I used to do this by opening Excel and opening Excel again from the Start menu and opening files through windows explorer and controlling which instance I've been using multiple instances of Excel 2003 using two monitors for a long time using Windows XP.
