How to XLS start old Excel 2003
I have in my company installed Excel 2003 and Excel 2007.
Excel 2003 is here because some addins not suport newer version. How to, when I click to .XLS file automaticaly start Excel 2003, NOT 2007? I try with Control Panel... Folder Options... File Types but allways after double click, XLA file was started in Excel 2007. Maybe some change in RegEdit? Thanks. |

How to XLS start old Excel 2003
Since 2007 has decided it wants to be the default, de-register 2007 and
re-register 2003 Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar StartRun "C:\yourpathto2007\excel.exe" /unregserver See the space between exe and /unregserver. Then register 2003 StartRun "C:\yourpathto2003\excel.exe" /regserver This process should make Excel 2003 the default for opening files. You may not have to unregister 2007 first but I err on the side of cautiong Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 31 Mar 2010 05:36:01 -0700, Igor G. wrote: I have in my company installed Excel 2003 and Excel 2007.
