How do I get excel files to open automatically from directories?
When I try to open excel files from the directory or from desktop I only get
a blank worksheet not the file. I have to then go through File Open to get the file I want. There must be a way to have them open automatically. |

There must be a way to have them open automatically. Go to Tools - Options - General and uncheck the "Ignore Other Applications" box. That's most likely the problem. --------------------------------------------------------- Hank Scorpio scorpionet who hates spam is at iprimus.com.au (You know what to do.) * Please keep all replies in this Newsgroup.

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.
