MS Office Forum / Excel / Excel Errors / September 2008Cannot open Excel file
Running Office 2007 on Windows Vista for a long time, no problem. Today, out of the suddenly, Excel files stopped being open when I double-click the file. I can only open Excel file from whithin Excel program using the option "Open". Already repaired Office, unistalled and reinstalled Excel 2007! Nothing has worked... Still the error message: Windows cannot find 'C:\file path...\file name.xlsx'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. Any clue?

It works rather well for my corrupt Excel xls files. Its web address is http://www.datanumen.com/aer/ Good luck! Alan Alan, Thank you for the answer. The problem is not with one specific file. It's with all Excel files! Would all of them be corrupted? I don't think so... unless it's a virus for Excel. As no Excel file is open unless from the Open option from whithin the Excel, I think there might exist a config problem!

I worked online 45 minutes today with a Dell tech, they can't solve the problem either. I can open about 50% of my spreadsheets, but the rest say "corrupt". The tech suggested possibly copying the sheets to a scan disk and opening them on another computer. I haven't tried that yet, however it doesn't sound to promising.

(DDE)" is selected. If so, unselect it! That's it! Now you can open any Excel file just clicking on it! MAB. > I'm having the same problem. My excel program came preloaded on my Dell > computer.

Yay!!! Thank you so much, I fought with this issue for some time now, and wasn't actually sure how to word the error on google. Either way I hit the jackpot!! Thanks!!
