Not able to open .xls outside of excel (via Explorer or Outlook attachment)

E

Eric Lee

After upgrading to MS Office Small Business edition 2003.....when I find my
..xls file on my hard-drive
using Windows Explorer & then double-click on the file....Excel opens, but
does not populate with the desired file. Similar situation with an .xls
file attached to an email (even one I sent), I double-click on the attached
file's icon & Excel starts, but I get an error on Outlook that the file
could not be located.

I can then go to Excel/File/Open & choose the file & it opens with no
problems.

Word .doc files, .pdf's etc. open normally from outside their programs.

I have cleared & removed my OLK directory. I have Offices' SP2 installed &
using XP.
