1.Try to open excel record from an existing file by
clicking on the file name on the desktop. Excel program
would open, but the file would not open with it. You have
to go thru open file procedure to find the file and open
it.

2. Even file name and path are all correct. attachment
file would not open (cannot find the file)

Anybody has an answer for these?

Sometimes one of these works:

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)

(And multiple instances of excel is different than enabling xl2k and xl2002's
windows in taskbar viewing option.)
