Opening Excel Files in Excel 2007 only opens application, not the Eipee73 11/25/2008 3:08:04 PM When I double-click on an excel file both on my desktop and as an attachment through e-mail (MS Outlook 2007) it only brings up Excel with no workbook displayed. If I manipulate the window (Minimize, Maximize, R-Click and select open then cancel) the workbook will display. This is getting to be a real annoyance and I cannot find anything out on the web to fix it. Any suggestions are welcome!!! (I have already cleared the checkbox for "Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)" Thanks in Advance

RE: Opening Excel Files in Excel 2007 only opens application, not Eipee73 11/25/2008 8:47:01 PM This is happening with all Excel files, not just one in particular, thus I am inclined to believe that it is not something code specific that would be relating to all workbooks.

RE: Opening Excel Files in Excel 2007 only opens application, not Jcline 12/11/2008 8:39:04 PM I have the exact same problem. If I open up a new excel sheet, it works fine. If I open one of my existing files, it won't display it unless I minimize then maximize my window. Even if I open a new document, make no changes, save it, then re-open it, the same issue occurs.

RE: Opening Excel Files in Excel 2007 only opens application, not Brian the Ski Bum 12/31/2008 5:51:00 PM Anyone find a solution to this problem? It is happening at two workstations (out of about 125) with XP SP2, Excel 2007, Outlook 2007. On most workstations, the user double-clicks the attached excel file in outlook and Excel opens the workbook, no problems. On the other two: Excel opens with a blank window (no workbook at all) and everything is greyed out except the min/max button and the office button. Clicking either the office button OR the minimize button then opens the file. I checked then cleared the "Ignore other applicatiosn that use Dynamic Data Exchange DDE" option as per KB290852 Thanks, -Brian "Jcline" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I have the exact same problem.
