I have Excel 2002 loaded on my PC. Just recently, when I try to open an
Excel file, it goes thru Windows Installer and comes up with MS Office 2003
setup window.....asking me for user name, initials, product key.
In order to get around this, I have to open my Excel 2002 program first, then
Open my file.

Can anyone please tell me why this is happening all of a sudden? It is very
annoying.

thanks,
Nelda
