Open Excel file get error with file names that have spaces in the
I started with a problem that all my excel files would open in the same excel
run. I did a few things to fix that through control panel/folder options/advanced/open. I think that got fixed but then each file I opened had a series of errors. Each space in any path or file name gave a message that the file wasn't found. Then sometimes the file would eventually open, sometimes not. Seems that once it got opened once, I could reopen it but if I halted Excel and started over, the same happened. I went back and reversed all the changes I made in folder options. This seems to be happening immediately after installing a MS update and restarting. Frustrating. thanks for any help. Kozmo |

Open Excel file get error with file names that have spaces in
Thanks for the suggestion. I ran €śexcel.exe /regserver€ť as you suggested.
Result is that when I click on an Excel file, the program opens but the file doesnt. I can open the file from within Excel but not through windows explorer or shortcuts. I re-booted; no change. Its not clear to me what the settings in advanced folder options should be. For excel, they are currently: In edit file type: All three options unchecked; €śconfirm open after download,€ť €śalways show extension,€ť and €śbrowse in same window.€ť In editing action: Application: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\EXCEL.EXE" /e Use DDE: checked DDE message: blank Application: Excel DDE application not running: blank Topic: €śsystem€ť "Gary''s Student" wrote: try re-registering the app: Start Run Excel.exe /regserver -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200810 "Kozmo" wrote: I started with a problem that all my excel files would open in the same excel run.

We are getting close!!
If a double-click of an icon opens the Excel app, but not the file, then: Tools Options...

Open Excel file get error with file names that have spaces in
I don't know what happened but I'm about back at the beginning, if not worse.
Getting the path error for every space in the path being opened Files are opening in the same window. Should I go back and reregister again? "Gary''s Student" wrote: We are getting close!!
