New Notice for experts and gurus:
Recently, it has become clear that some members (especially newer members) have been confused by "mixed messages" coming from non-Moderators. They are unclear how to react to such requests. Accordingly, we are now asking all members NOT to attempt to moderate threads. From now on, that will be done by forum Moderators only.We continue to encourage the reporting of posts/threads where cross-posting has not been declared, where measures to bypass sheet security are requested, or where abusive language is being used. Generally speaking, it it NOT necessary to report poor titles, spam, lack of code tags, etc, as these are easily spotted by forum Moderators.From now on, those posts made by non-Mods that are attempting to carry out Moderation activities will be deleted.

Opening Excel out of explorer or outlook attachment

I noticed the problem first in Outlook. Whenever I try and open an Excel
attachment I get an error message - "system cannot find the file specified".
It also happens if I open it from Explorer. If Excel is running, I can open
files from explorer, but not outlook.

This is Office 2002.
