In the dialog box that appears you need to make two adjustments:Īt the end of the line after /e append a space character followed by '%1' (including the quotes)Ģ.Delete from DDE message, and from DDE application not running. Highlight Open under actions and click Edit. Select XLSX file type extension and click on Advanced. Below are fixes that I have found.Ĭlick on Start > Control Panel > folder Options > File types. The user with the issue is a Citrix user, and I have tested files can open in Citrix, and not on Citrix. I don't think this would be a correct fix, since it is only one user with the issue. The fixes that I have seen are all application fixes. The other users use a Citrix connection, and have a published desktop. I am able to open the files fine on my device, and other users can open the files also. If you go to File>Open, the file will then load into Excel. We have tried multiple files, and they all open Excel to a blue/gray screen.

I need some assistance with Excel files not opening for a user.
