excel will not open a file with a double clik on a icon
What happens when you try double clicking on the file?
Are you sure the workbook isn't opened?
Maybe it's just off the screen.
Window|arrange|tiled
may show it to you.
If it didn't help....
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.
Maybe one of these will work for your clients.

Hi something happened yesterday with my excel 2003 all of a sudden it stoped
opening a file by double clicking on a excel icon.
I have read the other post on this subject and i am unable to follow it
through somewhere i get lost and it will not work for me.
I reformatted my hardrive and installed office again and all was well til i
got the latest updates and it is just the same again.
So anybody got anyother ideas.
