Gord D. "A document with the name "*.xls " is already open " ...etc

[Gary Coles]

I posted this question originally on Nov 20th and received a reply from Gord
Dibben ( Thanks)

The Tools option " ignore other applications" is not checked and regserver
doesn't seem to do anything



I should have specified I'm using Office '97 Pro in WinXP ( Full install)
The problem surfaced while I was using my previous OS Win98SE


When opening XL I get the following message ............
"A document with the name "*.xls " is already open " ...etc
I've learned to ignore the message and it doesn't seem to affect anything
BUT does anyone know why I get this message.
I like to solve problems not ignore them ..............

Merci

"regserver seems to do nothing" means what? No action? No fix?

If you are entering the command properly, you will get an information message
box pop up when Excel has finished re-registering itself.

I repeat "note the space before the /regserver"

Also "you may have to enter the full path to Excel.exe"

One more item.......

try Start>Run "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes) then follow with the
"excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)
