Think I've broken Excel...

Ok...

If i click an excel file icon on my desktop it tries to open the file and gives me a series of errors - it breaks the file path into chunks and tries to open them all seperately...

Please see attached doc with the errors I got from trying to open one file...

So this isn't a file attachement error as i've checked through my computer/tools/folder options/file types and also through right clicking and open with...

Has anyone seen anything like this before??

I've tried deleting the Excel registry key and getting it to recreate it and the same error happens...

If I just open excel and browse to the file it opens fine...

Am I going mad???

If at all possible, I would try remaking the excel spreadsheet.

Or if you can manage to get the document open, break the links, then create the links again. (backup before you do this!)

You say that the Document is Broken. The Pictures looked more like it might be a link to the document that was broken. It is possible that opening the document directly might still work. Try Opening Excel alone, going to the Documents Folder, and then opening the Document.

I found detect and repair in control panel for Office and ran that and it works again...

No idea what i did there...
