Cannot display Workbook
Hi,
1. A user tries to double click on a workbook. The Excel opens but the workbook cannot be displayed. I searched the KB and tried KB149764, KB158996 and KB304424 without success. 2. The same user tries to save the Excel workbook as "This is a test.xls". The filename is automatically saved as "T.xls". Whenever the user saves a file, it becomes <1 letter.xls. The user is using Office 97 on Chinese XP-Pro. I had tried to remove the Office and reinstall it again. But the results is the same. I have many users running Office97 on Chinese XP-Pro and only this user got these problems. Anyone has ideas? help? Thanks |

Oops, sent it a little quick!
Meant to add; Close Excel and Windows Start Button|Run excel /unregserver then Windows Start Button|Run excel /regserver This will reset the registry to Excel's factory defaults. (and it worked for me!) -- Regards; Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "RWN" wrote in message ...
