Excel in Office XP-Won't Open File from My Documents
When I try to open an Excel file from My Documents, Excel will open but the
file does not. I have uninstalled and re-installed Office XP twice, and nothing has changed. All of the other applications and corresponding files will open directly but not Excel. Help! Any suggestions? -- KRob |

Excel in Office XP-Won't Open File from My Documents
Try this Rob
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 -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "KRob" wrote in message ...

Excel in Office XP-Won't Open File from My Documents
Rob, I am having the same problem (clicked on Excel files will not open them,
get error message that Windows could not find them) with Excel 2007 in Windows Vista. Any ideas about solving that problem.

Excel in Office XP-Won't Open File from My Documents
Ron,
Hope you can help as I have similar problem. I tried your suggestion in this message but it did not fix the problem I followed suggestions in the post "Open excel files" from 10/3/2004. Didn't fix the problem. I posted results I followed the suggestion in post "Can't open an excel file (have 2007, Vista)... even though I have Ofs 2003 and Win XP it didn't fix the problem after doing the file association %1 addition. This seemed to just add the 3 error messages.
