unable to open workbook
Howdy, I am trying to open up a excel spreadsheet but when I do Excel opens
and there is nothing there. No workbook, just excel opening with a grey screen. He was working on the file, quit out of it and this happened when he tried to access it again. Have restarted comp but that was pretty much all I knew to do :P |

unable to open workbook
Have you tried first opening Excel and then opening the file from Excel? I
ask because it sounds like you're trying to open the file using a shortcut to it or by double-clicking the file's name in the file browser. You might also try going to Tools -- Options and then either checking or clearing the "Ignore other applications" on the [General] tab in the options dialog.

Also see Bernard Liengme's response to a very similar question here - has
same suggestion (clear the "Ignore..." box) plus adds instructions for resetting the Excel registry entries: http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...3-d44cb10e025c "kags" wrote: Howdy, I am trying to open up a excel spreadsheet but when I do Excel opens and there is nothing there.

Hi JL,
Did you paste the correct link in? Seems like it just takes you back to the question? -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.
