Hi I got a problem with excel, one guy here, has excel 2003 and 2007
installed on his computer. When he tried to open myfile.xlsx it opens
microsoft excel 2k7, but do not open the workbook ??

Does somebody know something about that ??
Thanks
 
I haven't had to do this in xl2007, but I'd do this in xl2003:

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

In xl2007, it's hidden under:
Office Button|Excel Options|Advanced Category|General section
Uncheck "ignore other applications that use dynamic data exchange (DDE)"


--- or ---

Then reregister excel with the version you want to be the default when double
clicking on a file:

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
Windows Start Button|Run
"C:\yourpathtoexcel2007\excel.exe" /regserver

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

If you do this with both versions, then the last version of excel installed or
registered should be used as the default when double clicking.

Hi Dave

Thanks for your answer. I finaly find out what was the problem. The
thing was that in the folder xlstart I had pdfmaker.xla that is not
supported by excel 2007 yet. When I deleted this file everything went
well after.

Problem resolved
