Opening Excel workbooks
I have a wierd situation in opening a .xls file. I can open Excel then use
File, Open to open a workbook and everything is fine. However, if I try to open a workbook by double click on the file name, Excel opens but the file doesn't. Any Ideas? -- Brian G |

Opening Excel workbooks
Try the usual fix for this.
ToolsOptionsGeneral Uncheck "Ignore Other Applications" If no joy with that................ 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(quotes required)OK.
