Windows Forum / Windows Vista / File Management / August 2008File not recognized
I have an Excel file on my desktop. Whenever I double-click on it, I get the error message "Windows cannot find 'C:\users\owners\Desktop\eric.sources.xlsx' It doesn't matter if I save it under another name, or even pasting into a new file. I am able to open it by opening Excel first and then using the "open" function. eric blom;455460 Wrote: > I have an Excel file on my desktop.

Hi Eric, Are you able to open the Excel file by right clicking on it and click Open With and selecting the Excel .exe program? http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/69758-default-programs.html Shawn  Signaturebrink *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* WWW.VISTAX64.COM (\"HTTP://WWW.VISTAX64.COM\") *Please post feedback to help others.* Thank you for responding. I just tried it, and no, I can't. Excel opens, but not the spreadsheet itself. Can you help? > eric blom;455460 Wrote: > > I have an Excel file on my desktop.

I don't think the abovementioned link gives any solution. I have fully updated anti-virus software (AVG) and disabling this did not change anything. I have the same problem with Word-files (Office 2003) as with Excel-files. In my case the problem was first solved disabling UAC.

After the september bunch of vista-updates I got the same problems. Has anyone found a solution meanwhile? In addition since then my Outlook2007 runs a slow folder-repair-process everytime I open it.

This may work for Excel. It does not work for Word 2007 (problem in documents folder and with e-mail attachments). Thanks...Chris > Eric > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > I am able to open it by opening Excel first and then using the "open" > > function. Hi. Have you tried unchecking the "Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)" option, in Office Menu - Excel Options - Advanced? That works for me. Ricardo. This is excellent - it has solved a problem that has been bugging me for ages. Microsoft should act about this - this kind of bug is very irritating and unless one investigates detailed specialist discussions, Vista is left as a poor damaged product crippled by bugs. How would anyone but a specialist work this out? > Hi.

Hey Ricardo, the DDE option did the trick. Diamond geeza. > Hi.
