mdk Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Hi. Went to open a file I have in Excel (Office XP) under My Documents and it would not open. I went to the start menu and still could not open Excel. It sort of blinks in an millisecond (with the Microsoft sound you get when you need to close a window before doing something else), but it won't open. I would appreciate any and all suggestions.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awilliamson Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 If it opens, and blinks, I would check to make sure in Task Manager the Excel process is not still running. If not, I would suggest re-installing the Office software, performing a repair of the application. Another item to try would be to have someone else open the file, re-save it, and send it back. I have had in the past a file someone could not open, but I could. After I re-saved the file, and sent it back, the file worked without a hitch.
