It's the way the products work.  Same thing happens on a desktop.  Even if
you open the second excel by double-clicking on an XLS file.  You
temporarily get a new excel.exe process, but then it notices the first one
and "transfers the request" to the first and terminates.  Each office app
behaves in its own strange way.

Subject: [THIN] File Open in Excel does not open a new session of Excel

 

We are running W2K3 servers with Citrix XP FR3 and MS Office XP.  We are
using flex profiles as well.  When a user selects File/Open and opens a new
file in Excel it adds it to the open Excel session instead of opening a
second Excel session.  Word does open a new session each time.  In Excel the
Tools\Options\View\Windows in Taskbar is already checked and has no impact.


Any ideas?
