New Application opening for each file
Hello, I've posted this query before, but with no luck. The same thing is
happening to a couple of my friends too: Every time I double-click an Exel file, a new 'occurence'of the application (v2003) opens (complete with 'read-only/notify' dialog about Peronal.xls), rather than just opening in the already open application. Can I change it so that all files open in the already open application? In Tools-Options-General, Ignore Other Applications is unchecked - although it doesn't make any differenc either way. I have both 2003 & 2007 installed, but have 2003 as the default app for .xls files Any idea how I can stop it. Thanks M |
New Application opening for each file
Try reregistering excel.
Close Excel and Windows Start Button|Run "C:\yourpathtoexcel2003\excel" /unregserver then Windows Start Button|Run "C:\yourpathtoexcel2003\excel" /regserver The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets some of the windows registry to excel's factory defaults. This or unchecking the ignore other applications has worked for lots of people. Michelle wrote: Hello, I've posted this query before, but with no luck.
