Excel tries to start up with microsoft front page

[Terranoman]

I am running Excel XP Pro, just recently however when I open the main
programme or an existing worksheet it attempts to open with Microsoft Front
Page and 6 or so reports appear saying unable to connect. Can anyone please
advise me how to stop this from happening? Prior to these recent problems
Excel has been working perfectly without any problems and as far as I am
aware nobody else using the PC has made any amendments.

Thanks.

Does this mean when you doubleclick on a .xls file in windows explorer that
excel doesn't open--FrontPage does?

But you can open excel (the program itself) and use File|Open and everything
works ok?

If yes:

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.

If no, maybe more of an explanation of what you're doing and what goes wrong.
