Windows explorer will not let me access files in excel, I can access all other ms office documents. I can access excell documents from the desktop or from the application, but not windows explorer. This started about two months ago, no new software has been loaded, what could have happen and how can it be corrected? Thanks Patsy

Do you see the files in Windows Explorer? If so when you click on them do you get a message saying there is no association?

when you look at the file, is there an excel icon next to it?

Or do you not see the file at all?

If you can't see the files, you have probably edited your search criteria.

Try drilling down thtu My Computer and see if it works.

Let me know if it works and then I will post an answer
