Cannot Open Excel Files

[Ciar?n]

If I have an excel sheet open and try to open an excel attachement
from an e-mail in Outlook, it will not Open unless I close Excel
first???

All help greatly appreciated.

Hi Ciarán!

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.
