Opening DBF files with Excel 2003 via Windows Explorer ?
I'm running Win XP Pro and wish to open a DBF file with Excel 2003 via
Windows Explorer (as is possible with Excel 2000/Win98SE, simply by associating DBF files with Excel), but get an error dialog: "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed." Having trawled the web, it seems as though the Office 2003 user settings need amending. I've looked at the Microsoft Knowledge base and have been unable to readily trace a step-by-step guide that also includes the Excel/DBF association steps. Is anyone aware of such a guide ? TIA Regards, Dave Purdy. |

If Excel 2003 is *already open*, then selecting a .DBF file in Windows Explorer opens successfully in Excel. Regards, Dave. |

I'm having the same issue, I've tried the Windows Installer Cleaner, a HotFix from MS, and lots of yelling. Did you figure this one out?
