When I try opening an Excel 2007 document it opens Excel as a program but not the specific workbook I've chosed to open. I have to open it separately in the program. Is it a known issue? It's a new problem that I haven't experienced before

Thank you. Will it speed up my workbook if it's ticked? I don't know what DDE is.

Dynamic Data Exchange. Having it ticked won't speed up your workbook but it will prevent Excel interacting with Windows Explorer as you found.
