I have an user who is unable to open Excel documents from Outlook attachments when Excel is already open. If all Excel files have been closed out then he can ope and excel attachment, but not with other documents already open. He is running Windows XP and Office 2002.
 
This is a bug from MS. I had it on one my students PC's.

The only problem is that I cannot remember what the solution was. Seem to remember it had something to do with the install of office on that particular machine.
Perhaps it was an update from a beta version of office or something like that.

Sorry I can't remember the exact solution. Maybe the Knowledge Base has the answer.
