How do I open an existing excel 2003 document
I believe a setting/s has been changed in my computer. I used to be able to
open an existing/saved excel document and all the information would be there. Now I open an existing document and all I get is a blank excel spreadsheet. How do I revert to the old settings so that when I open a saved document, the spreadsheet opens with all the previously saved information? -- Thanks for your help |

How do I open an existing excel 2003 document
You're opening the workbook via double clicking in windows explorer?
But if you use File|open within excel everything is ok?? Sometimes one of these works: Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it) --- or --- 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. ==== If that's not it, you may want to give more info. kitchenguy wrote: I believe a setting/s has been changed in my computer.

ToolsOptionsGeneral uncheck "Ignore other Applications" Exit Excel and try again It worked like a charm. Thanks for your help.
