Unable to open Excel file

S

Stan

When I double-click the Excel icon for this particular file, the program
opens up, but the file is not being opened. Other excel files don't seem to
have this problem, which tells me the program itself is working properly. The
file was revised yesterday, and it is not hidden, and from the property view,
it seems to have normal characteristics.
Please help!!

Do you have spaces in the path/filename?


Sometimes one of these works:

Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)

--- or ---

Close Excel (both instances) and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's
factory defaults.
