I'm using Office XP. When I double-click a document Excel launches a blank
document. The document will open successfully on other machines. The Security
settings are set to low and the file is not passworded or encrypted. Any
suggestions?
 
Do you get a warning message: Cannot find....

If yes, then sometimes one of these works:

Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)

--- or ---

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's
factory defaults.

If you don't get a message, maybe the workbook is just not in the visible area.

Window|arrange|tiled (and resize manually)
