Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Excel 2000 will not Open - Advice needed
Hi Everybody Thankyou for all your suggestions. Still no success. Have tried new 'user', have reinstalled Office 2000, have tried changing the settings in IE as per earlier email. Could it be a file that is causing a problem. How would I change all the Excel file extension so that Excel would not recognise any of the files, try it, and then bring the files back in one by one to see what happens. Any other ideas would be much appreciatted.

Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Excel 2000 will not Open - Advice needed
Hi Have justg made a discovery. If I open Win7 in SAFE mode I can access Excel files! It did ask if I wangted to load an add=in , I said no, and everything wortked fine. It is possible there is an add-in file somewhere causing a problem. Where do I find Add-In file. St the moment I have reinstalled and would not expect any add-in to be there.
