Double click Excel file may not work
I'm using Windows 7 and Office 2007 and Excel is having this issue. When I double click a particular Excel spreadsheet I get the following error:
Excel cannot access 'FILE.xls'. The document may be read-only or encrypted.
I click OK. Then :
'FILE.xls' cannot be accessed. The file may be corrupted, located on a server that is not responding, or is read-only.
I click OK
This does not happen in all cases. Some Excel files can be opened with a double click. Some files work OK. With this file,if I open Excel first then select the file using file->open the file loads fine. I have checked the file association, it's fine. I've checked the file attributes, it's not flagged read-only.
