Saving files

[clzob]

I had Office 2003, my computer crashed so when I got up and running again I
installed Office Small Business 2007. Now when I click on an Excel document
to open it I get asked what program I want to open it in. Can someone tell
me how I am supposed to save the documents so I don't have to do that every
time? Thank you!

You're saving the files as .xls or .xlsx or .xlsm files?

If yes, then I would have guessed that installing xl2007 would have taken over
those extensions.

You could try re-installing, but before you do, try reregistering excel.

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
"C:\yourpathtoexcel2007\excel.exe" /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
"C:\yourpathtoexcel2007\excel.exe" /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets some of the windows registry to
excel's factory defaults.

Change
"C:\yourpathtoexcel2007\excel.exe"
to the real path of the drive and folder that hold that excel.exe file.
