Excel 97 trying to open twice

L

Larry

When I open an excel document in Word 97, it always opens
the file, then tells me it can't open it because there is
already a file by that name open. It appears to be trying
to open the same file twice.

Anyone know how to solve this?

First try the standard fix(es)......Tools>Options>General uncheck "ignore
other applications"

OR Start>Run "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes and note the space before the /
mark).

You may have to enter your full path to excel.exe....in that case surround
with quotes as in..... "C:\mypath\to Excel\somewhere\excel.exe" /regserver
