My Excel 2007 on Vista has started failing to open documents with the error 'system cannot find the file specified' when I double click on an Excel file or Excel attachment. In Outlook, if I double click on an attachment, 2 copies of Excel open, and 2 copies of the file are created in my Outlook temporary files folder named file1.xls and file1(2).xls. File associations are properly set. I cleaned out the temporary files folder. Help! Steve Blevins
It is a good practice not to open files in a mail. always drag on your desktop before you open it. But you can try this first to see if you can avoid the error in Excel Run Office Diagnostics. Office Button>Excel Options...Resources Close Outlook/Excel and open Excel again to test it -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm wrote in message news:5cbb013d-9ea8-4424-b527-1a2a03baa67e@h2g2000hsg.googlegroups.com... > My Excel 2007 on Vista has started failing to open documents with the > error 'system cannot find the file specified' when I double click on > an Excel file or Excel attachment.
