Hi Mubeen,

getting error "cannot find file or one of its components"

Click to expand...

Two possible solutions:

1. Start Excel, open Tools, Options, check the General tab and make
sure "Ignore Other Applications" is NOT checked

2. Choose start (Start button), Run, type:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\EXCEL.EXE" /Regserver

Click OK

Hi there,

Jan's second solution is good, but be aware of the fact
that the actual Excel.exe file may not be in the location
he gave - it will depend on your operating system, the
version of Office you have, and how you installed it!!

I suggest you use the "Browse" button in the Run command
window to locate the Excel.exe file and then
append "/Regserver" by hand.

Good luck.
