Default Excel/Windows cannot find the file I clicked on to open it

Just a guess...

If the file is on a network drive, maybe the hybernation caused the network
drive to be disconnected????

Can you either remap that drive or do something else that wakes up that
connection?

If this guess is correct, you may want to contact your IT group. IIRC, there is
a registry setting that allows you to set disconnect time to never. I couldn't
find it in my old emails, but I'd bet you could find it via google (that's how I
found it a year ago).

After Hibernation and Resume the original problem returned; click on XLS file
gets cannot find. But now, after opening Excel and forcing it to the file,
which opens correctly, Excel WILL now find other files when clicked, even in
differing places, even when Excel is not running.
This gets more confusing. It does not happen with Word2003 or Excel2002.

I looked there and that IS not checked.
I played with the 'Service options' there and unchecked the online access to
Office Online as being unwanted for me, and Excel opens a clicked file
correctly. However I set those boxes back on and it still works OK.
Confusing!
I'll see what happens after the next reboot.
