Filename Split, then files not found, then original file opens...

[gndiamond]

The craziest thing has started happening. When I open a file excel
splits my file (path and name) on spaces and tries to open individual
files of the text strings created by the split.

So if I open C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\file.xls

If will alert:
\e.xls could not be found....

then it will alert

C:\Documents.xls could not be found

then it alerts

and.xls could not be found

then

Settings\User\Desktop\file.xls could not be found


Then it opens the file...

Very weird, and very annoying. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Thanks...

Hi

These things are always worth a try since they don't cost much to try.

Open Excel, go to Tools=>Options=>General tab and make sure Ignore Other
Applications is not checked.


If that does not help,

Close Excel
On the taskbar, click
Start>Run
Enter "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)>OK.
Note the one space between exe and /unregserver

then


Close Excel
On the taskbar, click
Start>Run
Enter "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.
Note the one space between exe and /regserver
