Excel opens 2 copies of every document - one in compatibility mode

[pb787878]

Every time I open an Excel document that was created in Excel 2007 format, it
also performs a file conversion and opens a duplicate copy labeled something
like XI0000011 [Read-Only] [Compatibility Mode].

Can anyone help me turn this off?

Thanks

Has anyone else seen this? I've seen a few other people asking about this on
the web, but no answers.

In which version are you opening the 2007 workbook?

Do you have the Compatibility Pack installed?

I think I finally solved the problem. I was using Excel 2007 and had the
compatibility pack installed. No sure the compatibility pack got installed,
I think it was thru a Microsoft update. Once I uninstalled the compatibility
pack, my problem went away.

Thanks for responding.

Thanks for letting us know.

Strange though.

I have 2003 and 2007 installed and the Comp'y Pack and do not get the two
files when using 2007.
