Re: PROBLEM WITH WORKBOOKS IN DIFFERENT WINDOWS

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

If they're in separate instances of excel, I don't think it's possible to have
automatic updates.

Have you tried one instance of excel and arranging your windows so that one
window is on one monitor and the other is on the other monitor?

(I _think_ I've seen some posts that say that this is possible--but I could be
wrong.)

When I had originally set this up both workbooks opened in the same window
and it worked great, instantly updating the information as it was entered.
Unfortunately as I I do need them open in seperate windows and I need for
them to automatically update, is this possble at all? Thanks for all the help
I really appreciate it.
