I don't know! I would LOVE to be able to only close the current workbook, like with a word document, and NOT close all other excel sheets. I've lost so much data due to this Microsoft FLAW... So the question still stands: Is there a way to set excel to open workbooks in different instances, so that when you click on the Program 'X', it only closes the current workbook like with Word?
