Opening Excel by double-clicking a file doesn't work!
When i double-click an Excel file on my computer to open Excel, it opens
Excel, but doesnt open the document. I need to have Excel open first in order for it to open the document when i double-click it. Any ideas? Also, when i double-click an Excel attachment from outlook, it just hangs / freezes. i need to escape out and save the attachment on my c-drive first and then open it that way... Win Server 2003 SP2 / Office 2007 SP1 Help - This is Annoying!! |
