2010 will not let me open excell in 2 different windows

[nighttowl]

I want to open 2 files in excel to compare the data, but every time i try to open the files, they open in the same window.
Can i change it to open excel twice instead of reusing the open programs window?

You want to run two instances of the program? Or just two windows within the same program?

[nighttowl]

two instances.

i can do it if i right click open a window, browse for the file, but it takes too long.

I want it to open a new window for each file.

Ahh .. it's a Windows setting. If you are in Windows Explorer and you open a file, if the program associated with that file is already open it will run that instance. I do not know if there is a way to change this setting.
