Hi Group,

I'm having a problem with Excel as part of Office 97.

We're running:
Windows 98SE
Office 97

Here's the deal.

If I open a document by double-clicking the document file Excel opens and
declares that the path is invalid. It is showing the correct path in the
warning box. If I open Excel first and choose FILE OPEN, then the file
will open as normal.

I've tried uninstalling including manual deletion of all files/registry
references, running the MS Office removal tool, repair install of Windows &
SFC. I'm not sure where else to go with it.

If anyone can shed some light on this I would greatly apprecate it!

Thanks in advance,

Robert Kister
 
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.
