Thanks guys for the help :-)

Nick, your method didn't work. There was no option to restore links at
all for Office 12 restoring/repairing. So I tried the next thing that I
was very aprehensive about and that was changing the File Type
information. It worked and I see that Gord suggested it as his second
fix.

Gord, your second method works just fine as I just found out before
coming back here :-)

Thanks for the help from both of you, I really appreciate it.

Try this first...........

Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar

StartRun ""C:\program files\microsoft office\office11\excel.exe
/regserver"(no
quotes)OK.

See the space between exe and /regserver

If no joy with the above......................

Go to StartSettingsFolderOptionsFile Types.

If using WinXP OS you would scroll down to .XLS then
"Advanced"OpenEdit.

In Command line the path should be similar to this....

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE11\EXCEL.EXE" /e (delete the
<sp/e if
you want Book1 to open.

You must have the double quotes.

Below have "use DDE" checked and this in the DDE message
box....[open("%1")]

Application should read "Excel"(no quotes)
