Options link under Tools is greyed out
I'm using the Excel 2003 version and I recently checked the Ignore other
programs setting and once I did that, all my excel documents went blank. I tried going back to uncheck it but now the options link is greyed out. How can I fix this? |

I don't think your workbooks went blank.
But I do bet that you're having trouble opening the files by doubleclicking on them in windows explorer. Starting a new workbook (or use File|open to open an existing workbook), then try the Tools|options stuff. Saved from a previous post (just in case): 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. jbet wrote: I'm using the Excel 2003 version and I recently checked the Ignore other programs setting and once I did that, all my excel documents went blank.
