Can't open files from outside Excel
I am running Windowns XP home with Office 2000. Suddenly the program will not allow me to open files from outside Excel. If I go to Windows Explorer and click on a particular file to open it, the error message says the system cannot locate the file. I then have to open excel and find the file through the program to be able to open it. Same problemn if I receive an excel sheet in an email. I have to first save the file to some folder and then open it by first opening Excel and looking for the file. I have downloaded the latest update but I am unable to install these because my licence disks are not accepted. Most irritating. Can anyone help? rajtan -- Rajtan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rajtan's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=26029 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=393790 |

Sometimes one of these works:
Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it) --- or --- Close Excel and Windows Start Button|Run excel /unregserver then Windows Start Button|Run excel /regserver The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's factory defaults.
