I have requested help before...but I'll give er another shot?!

I have written code, but sometimes dependant on the system, the XL file is opened in IE. This usually if not always crashed code.
Is there a way to write code accordingly?
or
Prevent IE from opening XL files?

TIA,

Hi,

Are these files being downloaded of the Internet/Intranet. If so you may have to alter how the excel files are opened.

If you open up Windows Explorer and then select View - Options. Then select the File Types tab. From here find the reference to Microsoft Excel Worksheet. Select it and then press Edit. You may see an option for Browse In Same Window. If it is there it may be checked. This should be unchecked. This will cause Excel to always open in an new instance.

If you need to do this on multiple machines I have a reg file that may be useful. Post your email address and I can send it to you.

Thanks Matt Smith

No two nulls are the same
