The only thing I can think of is that the file is hidden.

Hi,

Does anyone know why MS Excel would open up without the spreadsheet data in
the window?

Currently the only way the file can be opened is to go to File then to Open
& then having to double-click on the Excel file again. This method works to
open up the file.

But when the file is double-clicked on it opens up to a blank Excel window
with a dark background as though the file itself hasn't opened.

Any ideas?

thanks,

Marcus
