Try this Rob

ToolsOptionsGeneral uncheck "Ignore other Applications"
Exit Excel and try again

If this doesn't work try to re-register Excel

Close Excel first and
On the Windows Taskbar

1 ) StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK.
2) StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.
See the space between exe and /regserver

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe.
In that case StartRun "C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK

When I try to open an Excel file from My Documents, Excel will open but the
file does not. I have uninstalled and re-installed Office XP twice, and
nothing has changed. All of the other applications and corresponding files
will open directly but not Excel. Help! Any suggestions?
