Excel File Association

[Jay Calvert]

Hi all,
I hope somebody can help me sort out this problem.

I have a computer in the office here that is having problems opening Excel
files. When I double-click the xls file, Excel opens, but it doesn't open
the document. It is just a grey screen.

I do get the following error when trying to open the file in an email
"'Windows cannot find "C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\.......\Document.xls'. Make
sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. "

If I open the file from within Excel, it works fine.

I have done a thousand searches and all that comes up mentions a corrupt
Temporary Internet Folder, I cleaned it up and it works for other
applications

Any help would be appreciated.

Got it solved, for those that want to know....

Under 'Tools', 'Options', 'General' tab, there is a checkbox 'Ignore other
applications' make sure this is not checked.
