Default Opening Excel 2007 application

no luck on that. Again, excel opens, but the file does not and the error is
"cannot find the file". Which was the file I double clicked originally.

When I double click on an excel file (from folder or e-mail attachment, etc),
my Excel 2007 application opens but I get an error "cannot find specified
file". WORD, PPT and other 2007 applications open the application and the
file with no porblem. If I open excel first (or leave the application open),
then double click on the file, the files open fine. Anyone know how to fix
this?
