Excel Attachment in outlook will not open
Excel Attachment in outlook will not open
(OP)
I have a user that everytime he gets an e-mail with an excel spreadsheet as an attachment, he cannot open it. It brings up Excel, all the tool bars and menu options, but no spreadsheet. Only a grey screen. If he clicks on save as before looking at it, it comes up fine. Happens with excel attachments from anyone. Any ideas??

I've got a regini file that I use to fix any problems that I find, but you can check yours by going to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.8\Shell\Open\Command
(The "8" means Office 97, I assume that's what you're using)
This key should be set to the location of excel.exe.
e.g. "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\EXCEL.EXE"
And the key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.8\Shell\Open\ddeexec
Should be set to: [open("%1")]
No promises, but it works for me!
