problems to open an excel archive
 

When I open an .xls file Excel opens without problems, but not the archive
I'm opening. However, if once Excel is open I go to File, Open the file
opens. Do you know if the configuration is wrong? (Sorry about my English!!)

problems to open an excel archive
 

Try the usual fix(es) for this problem.

ToolsOptionsGeneral uncheck "Ignore other Applications"
Exit Excel and try again

If this doesn't work try to re-register Excel

Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar

1) StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK.
2) StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.
See the space between exe and /regserver

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe.
In that case StartRun "C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.
