Bug with Excel files in Version 1.2.1.451a

Post by dan_pub »

With Version 1.2.1.451a, if I find excel files in the main window and double-click on one of them:
- if excel was not open, then it loads and opens the file as expected.
- if excel was open with already some file open, then the focus switches to excel, but the double-clicked file does not open.

This happens only with Version 1.2.1.451a. With 1.2.1.371 the double-clicked excel file is opened normally in all cases.

winXP sp2, office 2003sp3.

I have been unable to reproduce the problem here (Win XP SP2 + Office 2003).

What is displayed in the debug console when opening an Excel file where Excel is already open?

Unable to confirm. XP SP3, Office XP (aka 2002, I believe).
In my case, with Excel open & a spreadsheet loaded, clicking the second file causes it to open in a new (Excel) window.

(I'm not really familiar with Office as I virtually never use it.)

The problem is caused by starting an application with execute in a separate thread enabled.

To disable execute in a separate thread:
  • In "Everything", from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the View tab.
  • In the Advanced Settings, under the General folder, uncheck Execute in a separate thread.
  • Click OK.
