We have a small 3 station network - all running XP Pro SP2 and Exce
2000 SP3. On only one of the stations when you double click on the .xl
filename in My Computer, excel starts up but the file doesn't load.
just get a blank excel screen. File associations are all set correctl
and I have double checked network settings, folder is shared etc etc
I'm stumped. 2 of 3 stations work perfectly - excel opens and file
load. Please help!! Thanks :
 
Hi

Try going to Tools/Options/General and unticking Ignore Other Applications.

Hope this helps!
Andy.
