Excel 2007 opens without data
I can only open EXCEL files (.xls or .xlsx) by opening EXCEL 2007 first, not
by double clikcing from Windows XP home explorer. The suggested fixes I have found here refer to older versions of Windows and Excel and haven't worked in this case. Any suggestions? Thanks. |

Excel 2007 opens without data
This seems to be a common problem (but it doesn't happen all the time).
You may be able to click on the Office button, show the Open dialog, then close this dialog and see the data. Or just open excel first, then use ctrl-o (Open) to open your file.

See if this helps:
Office button, Excel options, Advanced, scroll down to General section, uncheck Ignore other applications -- TedMi "Gman77" wrote: I can only open EXCEL files (.xls or .xlsx) by opening EXCEL 2007 first, not by double clikcing from Windows XP home explorer.

Thanks for your instruction. It was very helpful and will continue to "pay
it forward" as our City rolls out 2007 (better late than never). I've never had this happen in 2003.
