cannot open workbook outside of excel
Hi Guys,
Was wondering if anyone had expereinced this before...When I double click on an excel workbook in windows explorer excel opens put instead of opening the workbook it just loads excel. The screen I am presented with after excel opens is the same as if you were to open excel and then close the default workbook, i.e. the the excel toolbars and a grey background. This happens to all excel workbooks on my system so it is not just a dodgy workbook. The interesting thing is that if I open the excel workbook through the excel file open dialog it works fine. Any ideas? Cheers....Jim
