One gremlin out of the way. Don't feed the remaining after midnight!

Sorry Dave, I got it wrong I didn't shut down all copies of excel. It now
works fine, thanks for your help.

Nice try but no luck with this gremlin

Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on
the file in windows explorer:

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.

Hi, I have recently upgraded to MS Office Pro 2003, which is fine exept that
I cannot seem to access excel files from explore or my computer. All that
happens is I get the programme with a blank screen. I can get the file I want
by the usual file/open etc but this isn't much use for quick picks. Anybody
got any ideas about what I can do?

Regards
