Unable to open Excel files sent to me by email.

  • Follow


When I receive an e-mail with an Excel file attached, I am no longer able to 
double click on the file to open it.  Depending on the file type, I can save 
a copy to the desktop and open it.  How can I correct this issue?

I am using Excel 07 and Windows 7.

I would strongly recommend that you DON'T try to open the file straight from 
the e-mail.  It is when people change a file opened that way that they may 
subsequently find that the revised file has disappeared because it has been 
stored in a temporary directory and lost.  Much safer to save to disk and 
then open.  [And desktop is not the best place to save.]
