Opening worksheets
 
Hello! I have recently been converted to Excel 2007, however some
applications will not work in 2007 so I must continue to use 2003 until a
work around is reached.
Question - how do I make sure that eveytime I open Excel it does so in 2003
and not 2007, without the obvious solution of de-installing the 2007 excel?

Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar

StartRun "C:\yourpathto2003\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.

See the space between exe and /regserver.

This process should make Excel 2003 the default for opening files.

You may have to unregister 2007 first. In that case do this before the above
step.

StartRun "C:\yourpathto2007\excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK.
