Problem opening a file

[Guest]

If I choose a file from Windows Explorer, Excel loads OK but then says cant
find the file, but that's because the full path to the
file gets broken down into silly parts like C:\Documents and\myfile.xls and
when you clear that, it say can't find C:\Settings\myfile.xls. and continues
on until finally giving up.

Any ideas please

Re-register Excel.

Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar

1) Start>Run "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)>OK.
2) Start>Run "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.

See the space between exe and /regserver

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe.
In that case Start>Run "C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.

Thanks, why couldn't it be the same method as WORD?

Any idea why this happens please?

Because the /r switch is already used for opening workbook read-only
