cannot open a file
Hello,
I have an excel file about 700 KB, but when I double clicked on it, no data inside, it just has only 3 blank sheets as opening a new file. Please tell me a way to open it. Thanks. |

You are not describing your problem correctly. You HAVE opened the file. If
you couldn't open it, you would get an error message telling you that. You may have saved a blank workbook over the "real" file. If that's the case, you cannot recover it unless you have a backup.

You're positive the file is not opening--if you click on Window (in the
worksheet menu bar), do you see your filename at the bottom of that dropdown? If yes, then maybe it's just off the visible screen. Window|arrange|tiled (and arrange it the way you like) If no, ... 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.
