|I have a client who, when they double-click on an Excel file the
| program starts to open, and then pops up a dialog that states it can't
| find the specifed file. This also happens when trying to open the file
| after being downloaded from an email attachment. I can browse to the
| file and open it that way, as well as drag it into an open occurance
| of Excel. Both work fine like that, it's only when trying to double
| click directly the .xls file or open after downloading that it kicks
| up this error message. I've tried repairing the file associations, and
| checked the security settings, but to no avail. I know therewas a
| recent upgrade from 2003 to 2007 on this system, but overall,
| everything else appears to be working correctly.
| Any ideas?
