The motherboard in my laptop was replaced. Since then I have been unable to
open a iqy file. I have tried it on other users machines and it opens find.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello George,

What does this have to do with Excel? Or is this in the wrong area..??

What happens when you try to open the file on your system?

Did you re-install office? with all the right options?
I think they are just plain text, so the likely issue is the .iqy extension
is not associated with Excel
Can you right click in windows explorer and choose to always open with
excel?
cheers

Thank you all ...
It's here because the file opens with Excel. It's a web based query file
that prior to the replacement of the baoard opened with no problems.
I've tested the file on other machines here and it opens with no problems.
When attempting to open the file I get the error that says "there are
compenents that are either missing or corrupt". However it doesn't identify
those components. I've tried running Office Repair", then uninstalled Office
Suite and reinstalled -> same issue.

Are you doing a full install?
I'm wondering if its one of the none default drivers or filters that's
missing
What version of Office? windows? Internet Explorer?
cheers
Simon
