Files won't load from shortcut on email
I've used Excel for years. A few days ago I couldn't open an Excel file
attached to an email from a coworker. Since then clicking on any shortcut or an Excel file attached to an email only loads the Excel program, but doesn't load the requested worksheet file - or even a blank worksheet. I've checked the settings (which had been working fine) and find no problem. With Excel open, I can click "open" and locate any file and load it without a problem. I just can't get files to load from any shortcut or from an email. Word files and other types of files work fine in their appropriate programs. |

Try the usual fix for this.
ToolsOptionsGeneral Uncheck "Ignore Other Applications" If no joy with that................ Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar 1) StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK. 2) StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK. See the space between exe and /regserver You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe. In that case StartRun "C:\yourpath\excel.exe" /regserver(quotes required)OK.

Your "usual fix" worked. Amazing! Thanks.
