Opening Excel
Excel does not launch the spread sheets when prompted from an email or a
drive area if the program is not opened. The file can be retreived through the open command. IE--If I go into "my computer" and open the C drive and try to access the excel file from there, it will not launch. Is there a setting we need to change? |

Opening Excel
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. kcaremore wrote: Excel does not launch the spread sheets when prompted from an email or a drive area if the program is not opened.

Opening Excel
Dave, In Excel 2007, I do not see that the tool options is available. In
properties, I did not see the "Ignore other applications". I also went to the start menu|run/excel/unregserver, and it indicated the file did not exist. Any other suggestions?

Opening Excel
Office button|Excel Options|Advanced Category|General section (near the bottom)
Uncheck: Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) I think you typed in the wrong command in that Run dialog. Make sure you include a space between "excel" and "/unregserver" (and "/Unregserver"). (I _think_ this still works in xl2007--that doesn't mean that it'll fix the problem, only that that command will run.) kcaremore wrote: Dave, In Excel 2007, I do not see that the tool options is available.
