Excel 2007 - Files will not open from outside of Excel 2007

37 Views

Hello,

I'm a new user of Xcelsius 2008, in fact I just had it installed yesterday. The issue I've come across ever since the install, is when I attempt to open an Excel 2007 file from My Documents window (i.e Windows Explorer) a new instance of Excel will open, churn for a few seconds and then nothing...the file doesn't open nor is there a new workbook, all I see is a blank Excel screen.

I am however, able to click on Open within Excel, navigate to the appropriate location and open the file that way.

A couple notes: a) yesterday I also had Business Objects XI 3.1 installed yesterday, one of the options is "Enable Office Add-ins" I've tried to open files through Explorer with and without this enabled. b) When I try to open a file with Explorer, at the bottom of Excel I see: "Opening:EUROTOOL.XLAM" for a brief moment, and again, all I'm left with is a new instance of a blank Excel screen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Chase K.
