Cannot Open Files

[Danny]

I click on File and Open and nothing happens. I also
click on the save shortcut on the menu bar and nothing
happens. I can open excel files from my documents or
explorer but cannot use the File/Open from the menu. Any
ideas. This is excel 2003.

Hi Danny:
Maybe you shut down with the Excel window minimized to the
task bar. Right click on it and "restore" it and see if
that solves the opening problem.

Sounds like you have been whacked by NIMDA virus.

This was a virus that affected the File|Save, File|SaveAs and File|Open.

Check out this google search thread for fixes if you do have NIMDA
