File Save/Save As Issue
Darn users! <vbg

The purpose of a template is so you can create a new workbook based on that template. If it's a .xls file... The first thing that I'd try is to reregister excel to set it back to factory defaults. Close Excel and Windows Start Button|Run excel /unregserver then Windows Start Button|Run excel /regserver Then test it out. If that doesn't work... Close excel start windows explorer tools|folder options|file types tab scroll down to the xls extension (microsoft excel worksheet) click the advanced button click on the Open item in the Actions box click set as default (ok your way out) If the default action was set to New (bolded indicates default), then that could have been your problem. Josh O. wrote: When I open any .xls spreadsheet, the file opens but adds a "1" to the file name in the title bar. Then if I "Save" it pops up the Save As dialog box. Any ideas why? The files were working fine yesterday. OS: Windows XP Pro Excel: 2003 -- Dave Peterson -- Dave Peterson |
