Excel crashes when opening excel document by double-clicking icon

[Guest]

I already have one excel document opened. And when I open another excel file
by double-clicking the file's icon, the excel program closed abruptly.

Did anyone encounter the same problem, and solved it?

Sorry Norman,

I forget to give some important info. The problem I mentioned happened to
opening a second file by double-clicking the excel file's icon.

However, it's ok when the second file is opened by selecting file > open
from the menu.

Thanks

Hi YasmineJade,

I think that If I were experiencing your problem, I would try to reproduce
the problem with other files, If I were unable to replicate this with other
workbooks, I would tend consider that the file itself might be corrupt and
I would endeavour to rebuild it.

In any event, try Dave Peterson's suggestions. I know that these, and
similar suggestions have helped many in the past.

You can also look at Chip Pearson's detailed notes at:

to see if that helps.

Meanwhile, I wish you luck in resolving the problem.
