B blaketus Feb 12, 2010 #3 I am having the same problem. This fix did not work. Any other suggestions?
G Gord Dibben Feb 12, 2010 #4 Append a /e to your command line for starting Excel "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\EXCEL.EXE" /e To achieve this you would go into My Computer>Tools>Folder Options>File Types. Scroll down to XLSX or whatever version you're using and select it. Advanced>Click on "Open" and Edit. Make sure the command line is as above depending upon version. OK your way out. You will probably achieve same thing by closing Excel and re-registering. Start>Run "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK. See the space between exe and /regserver You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe. In that case Start>Run "C:\yourpath\excel.exe" /regserver(quotes required)>OK Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP
