We have something similar happening in our office. So far it's only cropped
up on three systems out of 60 or so. They click the file in Explorer and
Excel opens and is blank. One user can click the Office button and then the
file pops in. The other has to click NEW and then the file pops in.

Hi,

I have the intermittant problem of files created in Excel 2007 not
appearing inside the Excel window when I open them with Excel 2007.

After opening the file the Windows bar at the bottom shows the file as
open and If I try to open the again file Excel tells me it is already
open.
I do not think the file is minimised so small it cannot be seen as I
have tried clicking everywhere iin the Excel window and cannot
activate it to be viewable.

What does work is to go to "View" tab and then to the "arrange all"
icon where I tell the open files to be tiled on the screen. The file
window then pops up and behaves as normal.

I can work on the file, save, close and open it normally and this will
not happen again until I reast expect it.

This problem is not restricted to just one particular file, it seems
it can happen to any .xlsx, .xlsm and .xls files.

Any-one have an idea of what is going on or where I am inadvertantly
changing some setting?

Thanks in advance,

Dave
