Error opening an excel file from explorer

Hi,

If I double an excel file from Explorer, I got an error
message said can't load some object. But when I open the
excel file inside Excel program, no problem occur! My
Excel is 97 version.

Thanks

Hi Wah!

Double clicking on files from within Explorer or attached to e-mails
should cause Excel to start and to load the file. Often this fails.
Excel starts but the file is not loaded. However, with Excel open the
file may load with a normal double click and / or it can be opened
from within Excel by the normal File Open method



Most likely fix for this problem is from within Excel:



Tools Options General

Uncheck "Ignore other Applications"

OK



Close Excel and try again



If this doesn't work try to re-register Excel in the Registry using
the following routine.



Close Excel
On the Windows Taskbar
Start Run

Type the following exactly including the space between exe and /

excel.exe /regserver

OK.



You might have to designate a full path to the excel.exe file

You'll have to locate the Excel.exe file using

Start Search For Files and Folders

Search for the excel.exe file and note down its location



Then

Start Run

Type the regserver command using the path you found.

C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver



If you have multiple versions of Excel installed you will have a
choice of which version to use as the default.

Hi Wah!

We breed very fast carrier pigeons here in Australia!

I hope one of the two methods works for you.
