excel docs opening in their own instance - not all in one
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 some of the windows registry to excel's factory defaults. jcsfny wrote: can anyone address how to fix this issue? -- Dave Peterson |

Hi,
I have tried to do this myself, but when I go into the right file, and hit TOOLS, I dont get a General Option and therefore cannot click Ignore other applications. Is this because I am now on the wonder that is Vista? These files have always been 2007 just on an XP machine, and they just will not open unless I go through Excel. I have had a look at the second option you have offered, but wasnt sure how to find this!

I'm confused.
If you're running xl2007, then you don't have that Tools menu--or the worksheet menubar. You can find the equivalent under: Office button|Excel options|Advanced|General Ignore other apps that use DDE (uncheck it) NikkiNYCC wrote: Hi, I have tried to do this myself, but when I go into the right file, and hit TOOLS, I dont get a General Option and therefore cannot click Ignore other applications.
