Excel 2007 unable open excel files

L

Lars Edlo

I have Office 2007 runing on Vista Business. Suddenly, after the latest Vista
update (Nov 27) I am unable to open any of my excel files!!
The message reads: "File C:\Users\My Name\Desktop\etc etc cannot be found.
Please check that you have given the right name and try again".

Other Office programs as well as Acrobat function properly in this regard.
How can I solve this?
Regards,
Lars

Hi Lars,
The message reads: "File C:\Users\My Name\Desktop\etc etc cannot be found.
Please check that you have given the right name and try again".
Click to expand...

Check:

Office button, Excel options, Advanced tab, general section:
make sure "Ignore other applications that use DDE" is unchecked
