Hi,
If, for instance, I have two documents named: Philadlphia, PA.xls. How can I view them at the same time? Excel always prevents me from opening to spreadhsheets with the same file extension.

spreadhsheets with the same file extension.

As the dialog that pops up says:

"either close the document that's currently open, or rename
one of the documents."

So to see both, you'll need to rename one.

Since XL doesn't *need* the extension, you could delete the extension on
one file, or change it to something else.
