default opening
Hi,
I have a user that has both excel 2003 and 2007. (All the rest of office is still 2003). By default each excel file is opening in 2007, but I need it to be opened in 2003. I tried to configure it by going to Files types in My computerToolsfolder optionsFile types. I hit the restore button and it let me change the default to excel 2003. But when I tried to double click a file, it gave me a message that the file name could not be found but eventually it opened up. This goes for each excel file, until I turned it back to be open with 2007. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot in advance |

default opening
Try to re-register Excel 2003
Use the full path to the Excel.exe from 2003 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 "Lp12" wrote in message ...
