Excel does not open Book
 

When I do a double click to an Excel Spred sheet in my documents folder,
Excel Opens fine but the book does not appers, Sheets are not displayed. If I
go file/open/filename. This sheet opens fine.
Any idea is welcome.

Thanks

Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on
the file in windows explorer:

Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)

--- or ---

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's
factory defaults.

Maybe one of these will work for you.

Both didn't work.
I also run 'Detect & repair'. It didn't work
I downloaded office XP SP3 and didn´t work too.
I so frustated that only solution seems to format & reinstall everthing.
that's a Shame.

I'm not sure if reinstalling would help.

But I would try the other suggestions once more. It won't waste too much time.

I solved the problem, going to 'tools/options/general/uncheked 'ignore other
applications'. It worked.
Thank you very much for your support. I really appreciate it.

I'm having a similar problem with Excel 2007. WIth the new system I can't
find any "tools" tab though - any advice?

the extra tabs and things even once at options are confusing, specifically
Office Button in upper left corner, at the bottom of that dialog is Options,
then on the left choose the Advanced button (red), then scroll down on
the right side to "General" (blue stripe) second up from bottom, then
"Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)"
