Can't open an *.xls file
When I double click on a .xls file MS Excell 2003 opens but the file does
not. All I see is the excel headers and grey area. When I click on the window menu everything is greyed out. To make things even more frustrating if I click File and then Open in Excel and click on the same exact file everything opens perfect. I have tried the following: uninstall and reinstall of office 2003. Start - run- excel /unregserver Start - run- excel /regserver I am open to any ideas. Thanks, Garrett |
Can't open an *.xls file
Maybe the first portion of this saved post would help:
Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on the file in windows explorer: 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. upnorth22 wrote: When I double click on a .xls file MS Excell 2003 opens but the file does not.
