File does not have a program associated with it.

Jim

I am having intermittent trouble with files on a shared
network. Files are created and saved by Microsoft
programs such as Excel, Word, Access, etc. When users try
and open some of these documents they get this message:
" This file does not have a program associated with it for
performing this action. Create an association in the
folder Options control panel." This is not happening on
every file or with every user. I'm puzzled. please help -
Many thanks
Jim

Hi Jim,

Can you provide us with some examples of the file names including the
extensions?

Also what version of Office are you using and what is the os and
network os?
