Won't load saved spreadsheets
I have Excel 2000 for Microsoft Office with Service Pack 2. Excel won't open
spreadsheets that are saved to the desktop, sent to me in an email, or opened through Windows Explorer. Is there a way to fix this or do I need to just get a newer version of Windows and/or Excel? |

Won't load saved spreadsheets
What happens when you try to load them?
Nothing? Excel starts up but no file opens? Any message(s)? Try the usual fix(es) for this problem. 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.

When I try to load the files from an email, desktop, etc., Excel will start
up but no files open. I tried the fixes that you listed and it hasn't helped. The files still won't open. "Gord Dibben" wrote: What happens when you try to load them? Nothing?

Okay little update: I can now get Excel to open files from the Windows
Explorer and the desktop but it still won't open from any emails that are sent. "Tiny G" wrote: When I try to load the files from an email, desktop, etc., Excel will start up but no files open.

This is a common problem and I'm not sure of a fix.
Save the file to hard drive and open from there. Keep watching this thread. Someone else may have an better answer.
