Operating System : Win XP sp1
Excel 2002 sp2

Senario: Double click on xls document from explorer and the document
opens fine in excel. Double click on another xls document from
explorer and nothing happens. Try again and still nothing happens.
Switch to excel to try File Open from the menu; However, Open is
grayed out. Press esc key and the second xls sheet opens up. Anyone
experience this problem or know of a solution to fix it ?
 
Hi
try the following:
goto 'Tools-Options-General " and uncheck "Ignore other
Applications"
Exit Excel and try again

If this doesn't work try to re-register Excel

1. Close Excel first and
2. On the Windows Taskbar
2.1 Start>Run "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)>OK.
2.2 Start>Run "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.
