file open details option stopped working

[Guest]

My file open details option no longer works. I can get icons and a list but
not details with file name, date, etc.

Look on the icons on it's toolbar you will see one for details, cycle
through the choice until you see your detail list. OR click
on the dropdown next to the icon and choose details.

Thanks David

This is the problem.....what you are suggesting doesn't work....I can see
the details option, but it gives me icons.....

I wasn't even aware of the information before, so I experimented
by clicking on the Icons at left and lost the expanded detail information.

Click on "My Documents" on left side, click on the Detail View icon
to see detail if not there. You should see your list.

I then closed via the dialogs close button bottom right, and reopened
from Excel's File, Open and detail information and detailed window
is still there.
