And when you did File|Print preview, what happened?

Gord & Dave,

Thanks for your reply. Actually the file resides on a network share and it
is password protected. I enter the password and it shows at the bottom
opening the file 12345.xls and then it goes into Ready state.

I tried reregistering as per your instructions but still no change. The file
is actually on a NAS (FILE SERVER).

Again I thank you for your help, hope the above information adds some more
insight.

Try the usual fix(es) for this problem.

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.
