Excel Spreadsheet email attachment unable to open in Outlook Expr.
I can read my email but the attachment of extension xls does not open but says This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the folder Options control panel. I put the xls extension in and then typed in Attachments but did not get OPEN results forthe 4 files. Is there a certain icon that needs to be put there. I used the same one that the xls has in the attachment box and the same message appears. I have 2000 xp professional and Internet Explorer * Outlook Express 6 in the system. Thanks for any help soon. Joanne |

Do you own excel--it's not part of WindowsXP. It's a separate program (or
bundled as part of Office). If you don't, you may want to look into getting the excel viewer (free) from MS. http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/of...347961033.aspx Maybe a free spreadsheet program would work for you: http://www.openoffice.org, a 60-65 meg download or a CD -- If you do own excel, maybe reregistering it would help: Close Excel and Windows Start Button|Run excel /unregserver then Windows Start Button|Run excel /regserver The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's factory defaults.
