Chip,

You're the best. That seems to work good.

Try starting Excel 2000 version using the /regserver switch. With
Excel closed, go to the Windows Start menu, choose Run, and enter the
following and press Run.

"C:\Program Files\Office 2000\Office9\Excel.exe" /regserver

Include the quotes as shown. Of course, change the file path to your
specific installation of Excel 2000. Note that there is a space
between the second quote character and the / chartacter, but no space
following the / character.

Cordially,

I am able to run 2000 and 2007 on the same machine ok except for the
following

The File Type associations are messed up. I have a bunch of files that
were created in 2000 and they have the *.xls extension. I want these
files(when double clicked) to open in Excel 2000. However, Excel 2007 is
dominating this action.

I have tried changing the association for the *.xls file type to version
2000. That did not work. I tried deleting the association for the *.xls
file type and making a new one for the 2000 version. That did not work.

Please help.
