An info message appears whenever an Excel or Word document is opened.
The message says something about the XLS file is already open,
suggests to rename.

I did rename, but the dupe file also presents same Info message when
file is opened. A Search does not find another file with the same
filename.xls on my computer.

Word 97 presents a similar Info message.

I am opening these app files by hitting enter or by mouse click from
Windows Explorer. However, Info messages do not appear when opening a
recently file from within the WORD or Excel program, with the File
menu.

Any suggestions/explanations why these Info messages are shown? Is
this normal behaviour ?

Using Win XP Pro, I think with SP2 included.

Thanks.

I have tried to rereg MS XL97, but as yet have not rebooted the
computer. So far, problem remains.


There are hyperlinks within one of the workbook sheets; will remove
those and try again.

Thanks for your reply.
