I recently upgraded from 2003 to 2007 and the issue just started happening
after this. The issue is, when i open an excel document by double clicking
it in the explorer, it opens excel, but no workbook.
By clicking again on the document it opens ( or just minimize/maximize the
excel windows also helps )

Tx, for help
 
Lots of people have complained that when they doubleclick on a file in windows
explorer, that the workbook doesn't seem to show up in xl2007.

Maybe a future patch/upgrade will address the problem.
 
Works fine for me. When I double click a workbook in Explorer in Windows XP
SP2, if Excel is not running, Excel loads and opens the workbook. If Excel
is running Excel just opens the workbook. I've been using Excel 2007 for 1
year now and have never experienced an open problem.

Click to expand...

Have you downloaded and installed SP1? It fixes a lot of bugs, though
I don't know if that one is among them.
