Problem when opening a workbook
When I double click an excel file, the Excel application starts but without
loading the workbook I double clicked. Then I can open my file from the menu or with drag'n'drop. Can somebody tell me what kind of weird option have I checked? I guess I has to do something with Excel settings, but I couldn't figure it out. |

Problem when opening a workbook
See the article:
http://www.officearticles.com/excel/...soft_excel.htm Specifically: "This is often caused by one stupid setting. It's under Tools--Options, General tab. Make sure that Ignore Other Applications is not checked." -- ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Vasil Ivanov" wrote: When I double click an excel file, the Excel application starts but without loading the workbook I double clicked.

Problem when opening a workbook
Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on
the file in windows explorer: Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it) --- or --- Close Excel 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. Maybe one of these will work for you. Vasil Ivanov wrote: When I double click an excel file, the Excel application starts but without loading the workbook I double clicked.
