Shortcuts

K

Keith

I have a PC running Windows 98 and Excel 2000. When I am
in Excel and use File - Open and opint to a file it opent
it as is should. But If I create a shortcut to the file
or use Windows explorer to navigate to the file then
double click on it, Excel opens, but then gives me an
error message saying that it can't find the file and that
the path must be wrong.

Why is this happening? The file is fine, since I can open
it from within Excel.

Hi
try the following:
goto 'Tools-Options-General " and uncheck "Ignore other Applications"
Exit Excel and try again

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

1. Close Excel first and
2. On the Windows Taskbar
2.1 Start>Run "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)>OK.
2.2 Start>Run "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.
