Opening Lotus 1-2-3 files
I have many heritage Lotus 1-2-3 files which I have been able to open before,
but when I tried to open one of them today, I receive the following: "You are attempting to open a file type that is blocked by your registry policy setting." Why am I not able to open Lotus 1-2-3 files anymore? How can I overcome this? Please help. |

Opening Lotus 1-2-3 files
Kevin's cite is correct but it's a lengthy article.
So what you have to do is open the Regedit.exe program from Start-Run. Then create this DWORD key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\E xcel\Security\FileOpenBlock\LotusandQuattroFiles And leave its value at the default of 0. -- Jim "mayberrygoer" wrote in message ... |I have many heritage Lotus 1-2-3 files which I have been able to open before, | but when I tried to open one of them today, I receive the following: | "You are attempting to open a file type that is blocked by your | registry policy setting." | Why am I not able to open Lotus 1-2-3 files anymore? | How can I overcome this?
