Can't open any Excel files.

When I double click on an Excel icon to open a spreadsheet, Excel open to a blank page.
Once I have Excel open, I can search for the file from within the programme and it opens fine. If I then do a "save as", and try to re-open the file from the desktop location, it still will not open.
This has happened since installing Office 365
What do I do now??

Hi ErickWB,
I agree with Michiel’s suggestion, and we can also try the methods below.
1. Try uncheck the Ignore Other Applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE).
Click File > Options > Advanced > General Section > Tick the option "Ignore other application that use Dynamic Data Exchange"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211494/
2. Choose Run and enter Excel.exe /regserver
This will cause Excel to start up, re-register all of its registry keys, then quit. Now, try opening your Excel files.
Best regards,

  • Can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard

    I can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard. Is anyone else having this problem?
    I have a standard iWork '08 install. Has anyone experienced? And better yet, know of a fix?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Most users who have had a problem opening Office files with the iWork apps after upgrading to Snow Leopard have the problem fixed by updating to the latest versions. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • Downloaded latest version of Firefox and now can't open any Excel files

    The problem started right after I downloaded the latest version of Firefox (4?). When I try to open my Excel files I get a Windows error message and then it says that Excel can not find the file.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

  • I can't open any excel file it say's not enough memory everything else works. Thanks

    I have no clue on what is going on with my computer can anyone help?

    How many programs do you have open. Usually your machine will use the disk as scratch memory, but your program may be needing internal memory and it may not be able to address it. Close some programs backwards as to how you opened them and see if you can free some memory. If you still have a problem, I would close everything and restart opening that program first. Jerry

    Indicas que no puedes abrir ningun archivo de video, se supone que has probado varios formatos, mp4, mov,..
    Has actualizado el OSX a 10.9 ?, funcionaba antes? La versión de Photoshop es la CC, no la CC 2014?
    En el menú de Ayuda>Actualizaciones, cual es el resultado, dice que esta al día?
    Tienes abiertas otras aplicaciones?
    Prueba a cerrar todo, espera media minuto y abre Photoshop a ver que ocurre.

  • Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hey ilyaz20360341,
    Could you please specify how exactly did you transfer Acrobat from one MAC to other.
    You might need to deactivate the software from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number (for Acrobat license) or Adobe credentials (for Acrobat subscription).
    If you have done the same way, then let me know if you are able to open Acrobat itself.
    Do you get any specific error message while opening a PDF?
    Hope to get your response.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from internet that was fine with Leopard. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from the internet that was fine with Leopard before. I just got a black screen when I clicked on a pdf icon on a given internet site, and same happened with several sites that I visited. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Try two things with Safari not running:
    1) Launch Adobe Reader, open its preferences, select the Internet category, and check the values under "Display PDF in browser using".  If it's checked, try unchecking it.
    2) Look in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (at the top-level of your boot volume) for something names AdobePDFViewer.plugin.  If you see such a file, try moving it to a folder named "Disabled Plug-Ins" (if such a folder exists) or onto the Desktop.
    Then see how things work.

  • Can't open any *.exe files

    When I try to open .exe files I get an error message that says "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel." I've gone to control panel > tools > folder options > file types and tried to set "exe" to "application," but that doesn't seem to work. Funny enough, I am able to open other types of programs like pictures, videos and PDF files, and if I open an html file directly I can open Firefox, but I can't open firefox.exe directly. I would like to run an antivirus or malware-check program but, of course, I can't open any .exe files.
    I am running Windows XP SP3 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T61.

    See if you are able to download DDS and save it to your desktop.
    Disable any script blocking protection
    Double click dds.scr to run the tool.
    When done, DDS.txt will open.
    Click Yes at the next prompt for Optional Scan.
    Save both reports to your desktop.
    Please note: You may have to disable any script protection running if the scan fails to run. After downloading the tool, disconnect from the internet and disable all antivirus protection. Run the scan, enable your A/V and reconnect to the internet. Some instructions for disabling AV are HERE.
    Please include the contents of the following logs by copying and pasting the text of each into your next reply:
    DDS.txt
    Attach.txt
    * NOTE: You may need to use another computer to download DDS to a CD or USB flash drive and transfer it to the Desktop of the computer with the problem.
    Based on what shows up in those logs I will post additional advice.

  • I've been using IMac for 3 years with Microsoft office. Today, I could not open any excel files? Any Ideas?

    I've been using IMac for 3 years with Microsoft office. Today, I could not open any excel files? Any Ideas?

    If you upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion, and did not upgrade to Office 2008 or later, that may be part of the problem.  Try LibreOffice, OpenOffice, NeoOffice, Google Docs, or Zoho Docs.  See my FAQ* for link:  http://www.macmaps.com/crossplatform.html

  • Office 2013 can't open word, excel files from the network after upgrade to 8.1

    Hello,
    Recently, I upgraded all PCs from WIN 8 to Win 8.1. After the upgrade I noticed that I can't open any word documents and excel files. Before the upgraded I have no problem opened any files. All PCs have over 500GB free space on hard drive. Other PCs that
    run Win 7 have no problem open them only the one with Win 8.1. This is what I got:
    I right click--> property and there is no unblocked. All files resided on the network server.
    Please help.

    Hi Jimmy,
    Did you get any error message when you try to open an Excel file/Word document?
    If so, you can post the error message and  event log here.Also ,if you had antivirus software installed, try to disable them to test this issue.
    In addition, what happens if you add the network server location as a trusted location?

  • Can't open my Excel file in Excel 2013

    Hi there. I've just been working with an Excel sheet and saved it, and now I can open it again. It's stuck on 10%. I've reinstalled the whole Office package (Office Home & Student 2013) but that doesn't change anything. Also not the DDE
    check/uncheck makes any difference. How can I make it work so I'm able to open my sheet?

    Hi,
    Is this an issue with this specific Excel worksheet, or any Excel files in your computer? Are you able to start Excel application directly (without launching any Excel files)?
    If you can start the application, please try to open the file from FILE>Open>Computer and verify result.
    If it's only an issue with this specific worksheet, you might need to check and see if you have any macro, VBA code in this sheet which might fail to load.
    Thanks,

  • Can't open ANY pdf files. Updated to 10.1.8--still "Access Denied."

    Hello everyone,
    I am currently unable to open any PDF files.
    I recently did a clean re-install of Windows 7 (restored my Toshiba Satellite to out-of-the-box state).
    After that, I restored all of my personal files from an external HD.
    Now, every time I try to open a PDF, Adobe Reader gives me the following message:
    "There was an error opening the file. Access denied."
    The only solution I've been able to find online has been this:
    Edit > Preferences > General> Clear "Enable Protected Mode at Startup"
    Also,
    Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced)> Clear "Enable Enhanced Security"
    Neither of these has fixed my problem.
    I also updated to the lastest version--10.1.8--with no success.
    I also re-downloaded and installed PDF Creator and its companion, PDF Architect. Curiously enough, I can't open any PDF in that program either. I'm not sure if there is some global setting I'm missing or something.
    Access to these files is critical to my work, so any help is appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Lauren

    I updated from within the Adobe Reader X program (Help > Check for Updates) and it tells me: No updates available. Installed: Adober Reader X (10.1.8) MUI
    Is 11.0.5 something I would have to access another way?
    Also, I'm still not sure if that would fix my problem. It seems most people with the "Access Denied" error had it fixed with the very first 10.1 update, and I have 10.1.8, so I'm not sure what's causing mine.

  • Can't open any iWork file anymore after upgrade !

    Hello, I just upgraded my Pages, Keynote and Numbers from iWork '08 to the new Mavericks versions. I can't open any file anymore!  I got the message that these files are to old and I have to save them first with iWork '09 applications which I do't have! Help please.

    Finally got my hands on iWork 09 and converted all my files individually!
    The iWork guys can still learn something from Microsoft with respect to backwards compatibility!
