Opening Excel Files
Once upon a time, like everybody else, when I clicked on an Excel file (say) on the Desktop, it would open for me. Now, I have to open the Excel program first, then click file-open. Any ideas? -- waynet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ waynet's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=27964 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=474642 |

When opening some Excel sheets, a box says that this workbook contains links to another worksheet. Fine, but I can NOT find those links, as I will fix them so this box no longer appears. Can anyone help me find the links?

When I can't find links, I'll use Bill Manville's FindLink program:
