When Excel is closed and I open an Excel file, the file opens, but a blank worksheet (Book 1) also opens. How can I stop the blank worksheet opening?
When Excel is closed and I open an Excel file, the file opens, but a blank worksheet (Book 1) also opens. How can I stop the blank worksheet opening?
If you do not want Excel to open the blank worksheet (which is its default function), you can double click on any excel file directly. You do not need to open Microsoft Excel 2007 and then open your file.

But that's what happens - I double click the Excel file from Windows Explorer and a blank worksheet AND the file open. I am not opening Excel first.
Thanks for the response.
Does it happen for all excel files?
Have you tried:
In Excel, click on Tools | Options | General | uncheck the "Ignore other
applications" box | OK.?
Your suggestion of Tools Options, General caused Excel to open with a blank workbook, but without opening the file.
This "extra" book opening happens with all Excel files in 2003 and 2007 at my current company. It did NOT happen when I used Excel 2003 at another place of employment.
