My Excel desktop shortcuts have stopped working.

I can open the all my workbooks. They are not corrupted.
I can open them from the recently used list or go to open file.
When click on a Excel shortcut Excel will open but the workbook will not.

UNRegserver/REGserver appears to do nothing when Excel.exe is started from the "run" box.

Hi Greg,

Check this:

Excel
File
Options
Advanced
General Section
Ignore other applications that use DDE

Make sure that setting (Ignore other applications that use DDE) is OFF.


Thanks,

Alan.

Thanks. Ignore other applications that use DDE was set to "off".
"Quick" or "Complete" repair.
Try "Quick" first, if didn't help then try "Complete".
"Repair Office and verify the status".

That did it (used "Quick repair")  THANKS!!!
You're welcome - I'm glad I could help.
