Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on
the file in windows explorer:

Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)

--- or ---

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets some of the windows registry to
excel's factory defaults.

I can not DIRECTLY open an Excel file sent as email attachment. The error
message is:

"Windows can not find 'C:\Documents and Settings\Sony vgn sz 2\Local

search for a file, click the start button, and then click search"

Please advise, thank you.
