Problem with Office 2007 Standard
Whenever I double-click on an Excel file to open it, The Excel program opens
again in a new session rather than just opening the file in the current session. |

Try the usual fix for this.
ToolsOptionsGeneral Uncheck "Ignore Other Applications etc." In 2007 that would be ButtonExcel OptionsAdvancedGeneral 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.

The box was already unchecked. I tried the other fix, but that did not work.
I am installing service pack 2 to see if that helps. "Gord Dibben" wrote: Try the usual fix for this.

SP2 will not fix your problem AFAIK
"Did not work" means what? Error message or the re-installer ran but did stop your problem? Gord On Tue, 22 Sep 2009 11:10:01 -0700, Joe Z wrote: The box was already unchecked.

You're right; SP2 did not fix anything.
When I ran the unreg it just opened excel. I closed excel and ran rhe reg and excel opened again. However, I'm still having the same problm.. Could it be something in the registry?

The steps I gave should get you one instance of Excel.
You could try these manual steps.............. If you are running Vista rhese steps may not do anything. Instructions for Windows XP and earlier. Go to StartSettingsControl PanelFolder OptionsFile Types If using WinXP OS you would scroll down to .XLXS then "Advanced"OpenEdit. In Command line the path should be similar to this.... "C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE12\EXCEL.EXE" /e You must have the double quotes and the <space/e prevents a new blank book from opening. Remove that if you wish. Below have "use DDE" checked and this in the DDE message box....[open("%1")] Application should read "Excel"(no quotes) Again...........if no joy, I'm out of ideas.

The setting for the .XLSX extension was correct. It was the seting for the
..XLS older versions that had to be restored. Once I did that, everything worked fine. Thanks for your help. Joe "Gord Dibben" wrote: The steps I gave should get you one instance of Excel.
