Problem changing file associations in Excel 2007
 

To overcome a particular file associations problem in Excel 2003, I would
follow the path "ToolsOptionsGeneral uncheck "Ignore other Applications".
However, I can't find a similar path in Excel 2007. Any idea on how to get to
this path? Thanks.

Click on that Office Button (to the left of the Home tab)
then click on Excel options (on the bottom of that dialog)
Then advanced
General Section
Look for "ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)"
