Microsft Office 2003 execution issue

Hi all

I hope I am in the right forum here. Th issue I have is as follows. I recently upgraded from Office 2002 to Office 2003 SP3.

Now, if I browse the network or my pc and try to launch a Office document by double clicking on it, the application launches, but does not load the document I clicked on. I can open the document fine when selecting File-Open. This is occuring for all Office dosuments.

I have tried an Office repair. Also applied the "1%" fix to folder options.

I have also looked on the Microsoft site for a hotfix for this, but cannot find anything.

Are you receiving any errors when you try to open the document?
If so please post them.

I have had this problem before where I go to open a file and it opens word but it gives me an error, and never opens the doc it just starts Word and leaves it open.

Right, out of desperation I have deleted Offcie 2003 for the nth time now. I then went and removed and possible Office application files/folders I could find on my system. Restarted and then reinstalled Office. I then kept getting the same issue as before. So I kept opening documents via File - Open . That was yesterday. And now today all of a sudden, when I double click a document ( .xls,.doc etx ) it open in the application window now. So dont ask me how I did it, hence the reason I have inclede everything I have done above.

Happy days again!
