So you have excel 2003 installed?

DL, Yes I have excel 2003 installed, all my work spreadsheets are on this,
now I cannot access any. Office proffessional is installed opn my harddisk,
this was done by a person trying to fix my computer some 3 years ago, I do
not have the disk. However I do not use it. The computer has been working
fine till Saturday morning when this first happened

In Add/Remove Programs what Microsoft Office versions does it list?

You say all your worksheets are in Excel 2003, but then you say you dont use
Office pro?
If you search for excel.exe what is the path (from Program Files)?

DL Sorry mate a little bit stupid, seems like I have been leading you up the
garden path. Your answers
Office Outlook 2003 Version 11.0.8173.0

Path For Excel is
Program files/Microsoft Office/Office/Excel
Right click on Excel and properties tells me it is
Excel for Windows
Product name Microsoft Office 2000
File Version 9.0.08924

The path you quote is the default installation path for Excel 2000
The default path for Excel 2003 is
Program files/Microsoft Office/Office11/
So it would appear you dont have MS Office 2003 installed, other than OL,
but rather have Office 2000 without OL 2k

You need the office 2000 cd's to repair the installation
