You gentlemen sent me in the right direction. This was the fix:

Click on the Office button
Excel options
Click on Advanced
In the General section uncheck Ignore other applications that use dynamic
data exchange(DDE)


Thanks very much!

Sounds like that should fix file associations.

Or possibly re-register Excel 2007

Your description reads a little confusing to me.

"My Excel spreadsheets have to open in MS Works" followed by

"fix it so that when I click to open an Excel spreadsheet, it opens with
Excel"

In which application would you like them to open?

What format are these workbooks?

Excel format or MS works format?

In which application were they created/saved?

What is the file extension?

there some way to fix it so that when I click to open an Excell spreadsheet,
