    Organizing Multiple Workbooks

    I use 8-10 workbooks (with 10-20 worksheets each) on a constant basis all day long. Is there anything that will organize the workbooks in a similar fashion as the workbook organizes the worksheets? I would love to have one window open and be able to navigate through all the workbooks without having to go back and forth on the taskbar. Maybe some sort of tree view displaying all the workbooks or an extra set of tabs at the bottom?

    Re: Organizing Multiple Workbooks

    I can address the task bar issue, but can't start Excel at the moment, so
    this is from memory: Tools, Options, and (I think) on the General tab, look
    for "Show Windows on Taskbar". UNcheck it. Might be on a different tab, so
    click the others if you don't see it. Keep in mind that whether this option
    is set or not, you can quickly cycle through all open files using CTRL-F6.
    (This does the same with Word, as well as many other programs which can have
    multiple files open).

    As far as tabs to change sheets, I'm not sure that's possible. But, you
    could certainly create VB code that takes you to each file, and attach the
    code to custom buttons on the tool bar.

    Found it! Thanks! That is certainly better than what I have been doing.
