I'm confused, why wouldn't a spreadsheet open with Excel? Unless they
are "Works" spreadsheets? Then the extension would be incorrect.
Workbooks open with Excel, that's the instructions I gave you. (WKS
files are Works and should normally be opened in Works if you have it)

Thank you, Bob, for your quick response. Unfortunately, I've tried that and
it didn't work. I'm really tired of having to click and choose "Open With"
Microsoft Works when my spreadsheets won't open with Excel.

Yes, R-click on an Excel Workbook file in Windows Explorer, Select Open
With, Choose, and then Tick the box for Always use... and then click Excel.

there some way to fix it so that when I click to open an Excell spreadsheet,
it opens with Excel? Thanks.
