opening excel attachment from e-mai

[Michelle]

The last couple weeks I cannot open any excel attachments
that are sent to me. It appears the path cannot be
found. Word attachments open fine. Even old attachments
that we used to open now do not open. Files that are
saved in excel open fine. Any ideas on what got changed?

two things to try

with excel open, go to tools=>Options=>General tab and make sure Ignore
Other Applications is not checked.

with excel closed, go to

Windows=>Run
type in

Excel.Exe /regserver

and click OK.

This will reregister the Excel settings in the registry.

Hopefully one of them will fix your problem.

Hi there,

Is it also the way to solve the following issue?
When I double click on the excel files, it gave me "Cannot find the file
'XXXXX' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are
correct and that all required libraries are available."
However it is fine if I open Excel first, then select 'File'->"Open"

Thanks

regards
