Excel2000 on WinXP home SP2. When opening an xls file nothing happens. Only
when I look at Show-Window (in the standard toolbar) the file is shown. When
I here choose the file it will open correctly. How can I make it open in
first go?
The spreadsheet file contains macros and links to other spreadsheets, but
has worked fine for several months. Computer is protected and updated both
with antivirus and firewall. Even tried to reinstall office - but in vain.
Help, anybody?
 
It's possible that you simply need to use window/arrange, then click Tiled,
and Windows of active worksheet, then save the file. Next time, it should
open OK.
