AskWoody LoungerWell I’ve fixed that problem. It was the ZLID firewall that was preventing it.
Now the next question. How do I share a pronter without requiring a userid and password to be entered each time?

AskWoody Lounger> If you have 5 word files open (in Word2002) and change 3 of them and press close, what does it do that you want excel to do?
The FILE associated with the WINDOW on which I clicked Close will close, none of the other open word Winsows/Files will even know that Close was clicked.

AskWoody LoungerAren’t you prompted to save each file before the app closes?
Well, yes but…
The scenario is like this. You have a Word file open, you click close and it says, there are changes, do you want to save them? but you didn’t want to so you click no. No problem
Now, you have an Excel file open and you click close, and there were no changes in that one so n message appears, but there were changes in another one that you had open, when the message pops up you think that it was for the window that you clicked, so you say no.
Problem.I agree that Word’s behaviour is “correct” but one has got too used to the current behaviour.

AskWoody LoungerThat is already selected.
I didn’t say that I did not see multiple instances. I said that clicking the Close X closed all instances.
I’ll try to be clearer.
In both Word and Excel, I see separate button for each window in the taskbar.
Each window has 2 X buttons. According to the popup hint, the one in the top right corner is the Close button and the one below it is the Close Window button.
The behaviour that I see with Word, is that both of these buttons close only the current window.
The behaviour that I see with Excel is that Close Window acts as does the Word example, whereas the Close one closes ALL windows.
Since they are both part of the office suite, this is rather inconsistant behaviour.
What I would like is some method by which I could get Excel to behave as Word does.
Would it help if I posted some pictures of what I mean?
