Object Bar

I have problem trying to group MS Excel using the Automatic Grouping (WinXP style).

Please help.

I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about, but... Excel groups within itself so it should only show one instance on the task bar whether you are using Object Bar or not. Individual spreadsheets are opened within Excel, you can minimize the spreadsheet within Excel to see what I mean. Did this help or am I way off base?

Eng Hun Gan, are you actually ending up with two (or more) excel items on the OB taskbar?

if so, then are you using automatic, manual, or no grouping with OB?


Bill Sawyer - Excel groups within itself so it should only show one instance on the task bar whether you are using Object Bar or not.

i have been known to run multiple instances of Excel before now, and that will give you multiple taskbar entries

I better make myself clear.

Eg. When 2 files of a same program is currently open, the button at the taskbar will show a number 2, and when you click the button a list will appear to show the filenames of the two files.

No number and no list appear if you open multiple MS Excel files.
