Excel 2002.
Suddenly this no longer works; same for .doc files in Word. I've repeatedly tried to reassociate .XLS file extension to the program EXE thru Windows Explorer.Tools > Folder > File Types.
The expected behavior is double-click opens the file in the same instance of Excel. What happens is that a new instance of Excel is launched, nothing is opened, not even a new sheet, and if you open the desired file in the new instance, you're locked out of or cannot see the macros in files opened in other instances of Excel.
A real productivity loss, worth an SOS on this board, to try to fix.
I've read other threads about PERSONAL.XLS, but none fit situation exactly.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
