Hi Lynn

In Windows Explorer, got to ToolsFolder OptionsFile Types scroll down
to you see XLS Files
Click on AdvancedOpen
edit the entry to something like the following (this is the setting for
my machine)
"C:\Program Files\OfficeXP\Office11\EXCEL.EXE" /e %1

for my XLSX files it is
"C:\Program Files\OfficeXP\Office12\EXCEL.EXE" /e %1

When you installed 2007, it may have changed the setting for XLS files
to also look at Office 12 (XL2007)

I need to have both Excel 2003 and 2007 because some programs I use for
my
business aren't fully compatible with 2007. Is there a way to
temporarilly
disable 2007 so that when a program attempts to download a file to
Excel, it
will open 2003 NOT try to open 2007
