Works for me everytime and no messing with macros, settings etc Sometimes the answer is simple.

When I used “%1″, I could uncheck "Use DDE", but after clicking okay twice, if I go back in those settings, "Use DDE" is re-checked. Now when I try to remove "%1" it keeps coming back.

I tried the above "%1", but it doesn't help. My scenario: I have Spreadsheet #1 open. I go to our SharePoint site and open Spreadsheet #2. It opens it within Spreadsheet #1. I want to compare the spreadsheets or copy & paste back and forth, so the only way I found to make it work is open a blank Spreadsheet (second instance of Excel), then open Spreadsheet #2. It will typically open under Spreadsheet #1, but if I close it and re-open it a few times it will eventually open it under the Blank Spreadsheet. Then, I can place Spreadsheet #2 on Monitor #2. What a hassle. Another issue. I have Excel 2007 SP2, Dual Monitors, Remote Desktop. If I have Remote Desktop running on my Second Monitor, and try to copy and paste into Excel 2007 which is on Monitor #1, I have to click in the Spreadsheet 2,5,10 times before I can type or paste anything in it. I found this issue on another forum but no one had a fix. I have XP SP3 and Excel 2007 SP2 with Dual Monitors. I tried the above “%1″, but it doesn’t help. My scenario: I have Spreadsheet #1 open.
