When anyone e-mails me an excel file, I cannot open it
from e-mail. I have to save it somewhere and then open
it from excel. when I try to open it I get an error
message (excel will open if it isn't already) that
says "the system cannot find the specified file". I can
open any other files that are sent to me.
 
In Excel, go to tools, options and uncheck Ignore other applications,

HOWEVER, it is not good practice to open any file attached to any email without
scanning with an up to date AV. Also if you do not save it to your HD first, it
is a possibility that if you maintain your Temp internet files on any regular
basis you may delete the file in question and lose any revisions you may have
made
