Excel 2002 opens, the file doesn't
After an extended power outage, I now find that when I click on an excel file
to open it, only excel opens, not the file. I have tried "Detect & Repair" to no avail. Granted, I can go to "open" and search for the files, but that is so cumbersome. Word operates properly, as does Outlook. I am at a loss. Can anyone help? Katee |

Katee
Try the usual fix(es) for this problem. ToolsOptionsGeneral uncheck "Ignore other Applications" Exit Excel and try again If this doesn't work try to re-register Excel Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar 1) StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK. 2) StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK. See the space between exe and /regserver You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe. In that case StartRun "C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.
