Can't open excel file from an icon

[Brian Paff]

When I try to open an excel file from an icon it brings
up a blank excel spreadsheet. I have to pick file then
open and go back and get the file. What happened and how
can I correct it?
Thanks, Brian

reads WINDOWS CANNOT FIND " FILE I AM LOOKING FOR " MAKE
SURE YOU TYPED THE NAME CORRECTLY AND THEN TRY AGAIN TO
SEARCH FOR THE FILE. Thanks, Brian
