Another file open

F

Fran Warner

I'm using Windows XP home edition and whenever I open and
excel (or word) file, I get a statement that says I
already have a copy of the file with the same name open.
I do not, but I get it evey time I open a file. Anyone
know how to eliminate it?

Try this Fran

Tools>Options>General uncheck "Ignore other Applications"
Exit Excel and try again

If this doesn't work try to re-register Excel

On the Windows Taskbar
Close Excel
Start>Run "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 Start>Run "C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.
