Hi Jim,

it turned out to be a problem with our Sage plugin, when i disabled it
everyting was fine.

Thanks for your help anyway.

The file opens twice because you have both %1 and "Use DDE". Since you're
concerned about the slow opening in Excel 2007 you should uncheck Use DDE.
The effect of this however that each time you double-click a file on Windows
Explorer a new Excel instance will be used. With DDE one instance is used.
Pick your poison.<g

| | Hi,
| |
| | I have installed office 2007 in Windows XP SP2. Every time i double
click
| on
| | an Excel file to open it, i get the following msg
| |
| | "test.xls is already open, reopening will cause any changes you made
to be
| | discarded. Do you want to reopen"
| |
| | i have searched for this and one suggestion was to register the
Excel with
| | "excel.exe /regserver"
| |
| | But this did not fix the problem.
| |
| | Anyone could help with tihs?
| |
| | Thanks in advance.
