Cannot open files into excel

[Chad Forsman]

I cannot open email files or shortcut files into excel.
The only way I can open them is when in excel got to file
and open. The error message says "cannot find file
location" or form email "system cannot find file" any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

This are the usual things to fix this

Tools>Options>General uncheck "Ignore other Applications"
Exit Excel and try again

If this doesn't work try to re-register Excel

Close Excel first and
On the Windows Taskbar

1 ) Start>Run "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)>OK.
2) Start>Run "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.
See the space between exe and /regserver

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe.
In that case Start>Run "C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.
