Hi

Does anyone know to a setting which may cause this:

this only started last week, worked for months no problem

If you double click on the saved excel file say c:\test.xls,

excel opens but with no open workbook, just a grey screen.

All the menus are there, but obviously, most are greyed out because there is no workbook open

If I open excel and open the files from within excel, it works fine.

If I try the files on other PC's, that works fine as well

Thanks in advance

W2rus
