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. dymax613 wrote: When I double click on an Excel link, the excel application (container) opens, but the file does not load.

I used to be able to open Excel files simply by double clicking on the icon. Someone please help!!! -- Dave Peterson Thanks, ignore other applications works good |
