Excel 2007 not opening files
I've read a number of posts & answers on this topic but have not found
anything that will work. When opening an Excel file, for example in Windows Explorer, the Excel app opens but the file does not. Since this is Excel 2007, there is no "Menu" bar, nor a "Tools" menu to navigate. I've looked in the Excel Options but the only thing I have found similar to the "Ignore Other Apps" is "Ignore Other Apps that use DDE". But that box is empty. I've also tried "excel /unregserver" and then "excel /regserver" but no help there either. Any other ideas? Thank you very much in advance. |

Excel 2007 not opening files
Hi,
The simple solution is to open the file from inside of Excel. Is the file an Excel file, and what version of Excel - xls or xlsx. You may need to change the file association in windows. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "JohnS" wrote: I've read a number of posts & answers on this topic but have not found anything that will work.

Excel 2007 not opening files
Hi Shane and thanks for the prompt reply.
Yes, I realize the easy way would be to browse to and open the file after Excel opens. But, I'm thinking that "it should just work", and open the file when I double click on it. yes, the files are Excel files, with a *.xls file extension. thanks again for your help.
