Cannot find file or one of its components.

Cannot find file or one of its components.

Hi,

I'm using Excel 2000 and windows 2000 professional.

This started about two days ago:

When I double click on an xlt file, my computer returns:

Cannot find the file 'K:\Customer Service\Quote\Cost Roll-up.xlt'(or
one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct
and that all required libraries are available.

I thought my file was corrupt.

But the file works properly for other users.

I copied the file to my c drive and it still returns the message.

In fact, I cannot double click any Excel template file without getting
the message.

I can open the file by opening an instance of Excel and choosing file/
open.

I know of no changes to my computer recently other than adding another
500 kb memory.

How should I start trouble shooting this?

Thanks,

Dan

Re: Cannot find file or one of its components.

Try the usual fix for this.

Tools>Options>General  Uncheck "Ignore Other Applications"

If no joy with that................

Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar 

1) Start>Run "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)>OK. 
2) Start>Run "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.

See the space between exe and /regserver 

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe. 

In that case Start>Run "C:\yourpath\excel.exe" /regserver(quotes required)>OK.

Hi,

Perhaps you need to reinstall excel. If this still not work, you may
try to recover the template. If necessary, you can try Advanced Excel
Repair at http://www.datanumen.com/aer/ This tool is rather useful in
salvaging damaged Excel xls files. Hope this can help.
