Opening Excel File

[Paul Bull]

Please Help

I have Excel XP and I cant open another Excel file from Explorer or from an
attachment in an email if I already have an excel file open.

If i click on an excel file in explorer to open it it justs brings my
previously opended excel file to the foreground. It doent open the new one
at all. I have to go into the open excel sheet and choose open and browse
for the file to open it which obviously causes a problem If I want to open
an excel attachment.

Any ideas.

Cheers

Try to Re-register Excel.

Start>Run "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes and note the space before the /
mark).

You may have to enter your full path to excel.exe....in that case surround
with quotes as in..... "C:\mypath\to Excel\somewhere\excel.exe" /regserver
