Can't Open Excel 2010 File (Under Windows XP) by Double Clicking On It
posted

Suddenly a problem occurred when I try to open an Excel 2010 xlsm file by double clicking on it. I can open the file from within Excel but not by double-clicking on it. I tried the usual suggestions such as:

Unchecking File->Options->Advanced->General->Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)

Open With Excel, checking 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file' 

excel.exe /unregserver and then excel.exe /regserver

I repaired the Windows XP and reinstalled Excel.

When opening it from within Excel I saved it under a different name.

Nothing worked. Also, took a look at the questions in experts-exchange concerning this issue and didn't find the answer there either. Something is wrong with the file association but I don't want to solve that by making a new profile. Do you have an idea how this problem can be resolved?

    Hi Mateuscaetano Mateus,

    Thank you for posting on our forums.

    It's my understanding that you're encountering issues opening Excel files which have been created by the Infragistics IgniteUI Client-side Excel Library. If this is the case, please update this forum thread with the Build number for the libraries you're referencing and I can investigate this issue further. Additionally, it would benefit my investigation if you can provide me with a sample which reproduces this issue.

    Note, Infragistics includes sample which demonstrate the IgniteUI Client-side Excel Library working as expected on our website:

    I am looking forward to your update.
