I have an Excel file on my desktop. Whenever I double-click on it, I get the
error message "Windows cannot find 'C:\users\owners\Desktop\eric.sources.xlsx' It doesn't matter if I save it under another name, or even pasting into a new file. I am able to open it by opening Excel first and then using the "open" function. |

Thank you for responding. I just tried it, and no, I can't. Excel opens, but
not the spreadsheet itself. Can you help? "brink" wrote: eric blom;455460 Wrote: I have an Excel file on my desktop.

Check the following article. You receive an error message when you try to open an Office document or start Outlook: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/835404 -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "eric blom" wrote in message ...

I have the same problem. I don't think the abovementioned link gives any
solution. I have fully updated anti-virus software (AVG) and disabling this did not change anything. I have the same problem with Word-files (Office 2003) as with Excel-files. In my case the problem was first solved disabling UAC. Kjeld "Ronnie Vernon MVP" wrote: Eric Check the following article.

After the september bunch of vista-updates I got the same problems. Has anyone found a solution meanwhile? In addition since then my Outlook2007 runs a slow folder-repair-process everytime I open it.

This may work for Excel. It does not work for Word 2007 (problem in
documents folder and with e-mail attachments). Thanks...Chris "Ronnie Vernon MVP" wrote: Eric Check the following article.

Hi. Have you tried unchecking the "Ignore other applications that use Dynamic
Data Exchange (DDE)" option, in Office Menu - Excel Options - Advanced? That works for me. Ricardo. |
