cannot open inserted objected in worksheet
 

I have a worksheet with an inserted objected.

When I double-click to open I get "cannot start source application".

I had a look at the Microsoft KB.

I am using Excel 2000 (Office 2000) on a W2k PC.

Thanks,

Camroc.

Hi
what kind of object is this (do you have the master application which
created this object?)

Is the workbook shared?

Yes the workbook is shared and the original object was created in Excel.

Same version of Excel - Excel 2000.

Thanks,

Camroc.

Camroc -

Shared workbooks have some constraints not present in unshared workbooks. Look in
the help for "Limitations of Shared Workbooks". One thing it says is:

In a shared workbook, you cannot do the following:

Objects, charts, pictures, and hyperlinks

+ Insert or change charts, pictures, objects, or hyperlinks.
+ Use the drawing tools.

I think you're out of luck.
