    Single session of Excel

    Apologies, i'm sure this has been asked before.

    I don't want my spreadsheets to open in separate sessions. My latest version of 2016 appears to have recently foisted this on me. Can i turn that off please?

    Re: Single session of Excel

    I run 2016, and have not experienced that issue, have you changed any settings?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools

    How are you opening the files? From within the program or something else?

    Re: Single session of Excel

    I haven't changed any settings that I'm aware of.

    It means, for instance, that i can't link spreadsheets when writing a formula, nor copy and paste. I can open additional files from within Excel in the same session, but that's not what i prefer to do!
