Unchecking 'ignore other applications' worked. Thanks.

I have even tried right-clicking and using the "Open With" command. If you open Excel, you can access these files fine. I have tried to right-click to change the file associations. I have also tried to change the associations through the Tools menufolder options from the folders. It will not open the file in Excel. My Word files are fine- just Excel. This is driving me crazy.
