First, I would make sure that excel opened the workbook--not MSIE.

Documents in the Appropriate Office Program Instead of in Internet Explorer

And second, maybe it's because there are spaces in the file name.

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 you.

Hi,
I'm running into the following issues:
One some IE clients, I can not open an excel link once the download complete
dialog box pops up. However, I am able to view the file after I save and
open. This problem does not happen on all the IE clients. Only some of them.
Don't know if the problem is on the IE side or Excel side.
Thank you,
Faizal
