How do I edit my profile to get Excel to recognize chosen file
In one user account only, I have several on the machine, Excel can not find
the Worksheet file when I click on the file name from wthin the explorer or start menu "My Recient Documents". Clicking on the file in a folder brings up Excel, but then Excel can not find the file to load the file into memory. I can, from within Excel, browse and select a file to be sucessfully brought into Excel. I have tried using the repair finction of the installation from the Control panel, but this does no good. Keep in mind that the problem exists only on one account. Things work normally fom other accounts. For this reason, I believe the problen to be in the account profile, but do not know how to fix the problem. I am using Excel 2003 SP2 with XP-SP2 OS. -- Jerry |

Try the usual fix(es) for this problem.
ToolsOptionsGeneral uncheck "Ignore other Applications" Exit Excel and try again If this doesn't work try to re-register Excel 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"(no quotes)OK.
