Opening an Excel Spreadsheet and getting :2

[Douglas Lovatt]

I have a spreadsheet(Microsoft Excel 2003) that when I open, 2 versions open. One is titled "PTWOP Roster.xls:1" and the second is titled "PTWOP Roster.xls:2". I can see no differance between the two spreadsheets, in fact when I enter a single character in one cell on the first it is duplicated in the second.
When opening this spreadsheet it opens Excel twice. One titled with the :1 and the second titled with the:2
I also noticed that when I had another spreadsheet (named "A") open, before I open the problem spreadsheet, it opened a second version of Excel with "A" being duplicated.

An thoughts on what is causing this problem.
