Using Explorer - multiple copies of Excel open
A few weeks back I agreed to work on someone else's workbook. This book had
some code that may have altered my registry. Now when I try to open a workbook from Explorer, from an email, or from a zip file - a second copy of Excel opens and the file choosen errors with a message that the file couldn't be found. I am forced to save the file to a folder and than open it from within Excel. Also - The VBE icon is not showing on my Start bar. Can anyone suggest what may be causing this, and possibly offer a fix... Thanks in advance! -- steveB Remove "AYN" from email to respond |

In tools=Options, general tab, do you have Ignore Other Applications
checked. If so, uncheck it. another thing is to reregister excel in windows start menu, choose run, then type in Excel.exe /regserver and click OK. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "STEVE BELL" wrote in message news:6NuHe.9457$Bx5.5767@trnddc09...
