Opening files in Excel 2003
If you open excel and then use File|Open to open the file, does it work ok?
I'm guessing that you're doubleclicking on yourworkbooknamehere.xls in windows explorer. If I'm right... Saved from a previous post: If it's a .xlt file (a template), then this is the behavior you want. The purpose of a template is so you can create a new workbook based on that template. If it's a .xls file... The first thing that I'd try is to reregister excel to set it back to factory defaults. Close Excel and Windows Start Button|Run excel /unregserver then Windows Start Button|Run excel /regserver Then test it out. If that doesn't work... Close excel start windows explorer tools|folder options|file types tab scroll down to the xls extension (microsoft excel worksheet) click the advanced button click on the Open item in the Actions box click set as default (ok your way out) If the default action was set to New (bolded indicates default), then that could have been your problem.
