How to open excel attachments from an e-mail?

Hi Marlon

Nothing wrong with your internet connection as you can do other things such as browsing and checking emails. This could be caused by high security settings in your browser. Attachments are considered a potential threat and for good reasons too, they can contain viruses.

Go to the browsers security settings and set the level so that when opening attachments it will ask your permission without running. If this is not the problem then the excel file version is not compatible with your version of MS Excel. For example files made in MS excel 2007 will not be compatible with MS excel 2003.

To correct this problem, follow these steps:

1. Close the e-mail message.
2. Start Excel.
3. On the Tools menu, click Options.
4. Under the General tab, click to clear the ignore other applications check box, and then click OK.
5. Quit Excel.

Now you will be able to double-click the attachment to open it in Excel, and can save it to the hard disk drive.
