Excel pointing me to MS Ofc Install
I was in Excel yesterday just fine. Checking several sprdshts.
This am just clicking the button for Excel displays box that says it is installing MS Win Ofc Pro.. doesn't prompt me if I want to do it... and then another box pops up right below it titled MS Windows Ofc Professional and the message inside is: The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not avail. Insert the MS Ofc XP Pro disk and click OK. When I'm automatically taken somewhere other than what I want I jump to thinking a function is being or trying to be hi-jacked...could be totally wrong NOW - I do have a traveldrive and recently I took it on a trip just to see if it would work for me to load some pictures while away. But I wasn't comfortable w the choices presented [programs?] so didn't use it. And again, since I've been in my spreadsheets the last few days at home I don't think that had any bearing. I have such important stuff in Excel that I don't dare touch anything for fear of losing it altogethor so that's why I wanted come here first. Thank you |

Try
Try Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar 1) Start-Run- excel.exe /unregserver -OK. 2) Start-Run- excel.exe /regserver -OK. See the space between exe and /regserver You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe (most likely C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11) In that case Start-Run- "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\excel.exe" /regserver - OK Note that quotes are required because of spaces in the path "silktraveler" wrote: I was in Excel yesterday just fine.

I think that's an excellent suggestion. I also had another thought - the
message received was "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not avail" I'm thinking that possibly that a full installation of all features may not have been made initially and that in clicking the button, possibly a second click was detected on some uninstalled feature. If that's the case, then a full installation from the Office CD may be in order to prevent it from happening in the future.
