Not sure what happen, but I can't seem to switch to my other workbook when 2 or more workbooks are open without first minimizing the workbook thats is currently open. In the task bar, it only shows 1 workbook open, but i have multiple workbooks open. How can i make this stop doing this.

before this problem, I was able to open 2 or more workbooks and they were displayed in the task bar for me to choose from, but now only one window is displayed in the task bar, but multiple workbooks are open. The only way i can switch to the other workbook is to minimize the current workbook.
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
There are other ways!, you could choose from your toolbar WINDOW, and then click on the workbook you want or you couls hold down ALT and press the TAB button to scroll through open programs, or CTRL+F4 quits the multiple document window, or SHIFT+Windows Logo+M: Undo minimize all
