Applications not opening when clicking on icon

[Guest]

Hi someone please help!!!!
I have loaded latest MS upgrades & have XP Pro 2002 version.
Recently (in the last 3 months) i have not been able to open word or excel
or any MS application by double clicking on the file. The only way i can oepn
it is to open excel first then open the file. In Excel i can no longer use
query from within excel.

Cheers

Did you try making new shortcuts to see if that is the problem? If
available, try doing a repair on MS Office (add remove screen in control
panel) and if no luck, try reinstalling it.

Office questions are best asked in an Office newsgroup such as:

If you post to an Office newsgroup, be sure to list the version of Office
you use.
