Hi

I am not able to open my excel sheet by doubleclicking on
it. The excel sheet is missing from the excel application
(leaves a gaping hole in the center) with only the menu
bar visible.

But am able to do the same by running a instance first
(from RUN) and then opening it from there.

Any way out?

Are you sure it's not opening? Maybe it's just off the screen.

Try clicking on Window on the toolbar. Do you see your workbook name at the
bottom of the list?

If yes, try Window|Arrange|Tiled and then resize by hand (and then save it).

If it's not really there, do you get an error message back when you try it:
"Cannot find ..."

Maybe one of these will help.

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.

An alternative might be to do:
Try Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)
 
Uncheck Tools, Options, General, Ignore other applications if it is
selected, and close Excel.
