unable to open Excel file by double clicks
When I double click the Excel File, I only open the Excel program, not the
file itself. I can only open the file from Excel menu. I recently upgraded the Office from 2000 to XP. I would appreciate if anyone can explain to me. Thanks. Renyan January 15, 2005 |

A few thinks to try (In order) 1) Go into ToolsOptions...Generalun-check 'ignore other applications' 2) Search for files called xxxxx.xlb (Where xxxxx could be 'Excelx' or your user name), move them out of their folders and try starting Excel (They are toolbar customisation files). If you are now ok then you can delete the files as Excel will have created a new one. (They may be hidden so insure you check this option when searching 3) In windows, go to startrun and type excel.exe /regserver -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England HIS "Renyan" wrote in message ...
