Any Excel files I open is opened in a new instance of excel and not the existing one. Using Windows 7 and Excel 2007, I've tried varios changes to the registry but still have the same issue.
Any ides how I can set to open Excel files from desktop, email attachments etc in the existing Excel instance?
Many thanks,
Jamie.
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
