Help!

When you click an excel file icon, excel starts but the
file does not open as expected; however if you go to file
and open the worksheet will open correctly. I found the
solution to this problem for Excel 2000 (Q304424). Will
this solution work for 97 as well? I am using Office 97
on an XP Pro machine.

Thanks

The fix at Q304424 will work for Exzcel 97.

There could be an easier way......

Start>Run "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes and note the space before the /
mark).

You may have to enter your full path to excel.exe....in that case surround
with quotes as in..... "C:\mypath\to Excel\somewhere\excel.exe" /regserver
