Hello,

After Office upgrade from 2010 to 2013, If the excel sheet is opened, received the below message at every time

"Excel isn't currently your default program message at startup"

It is resolved by "Microsoft office data connection, *.ODC" as default program. Please let me know how to resolve this issue and how do i find why this message occurs after upgraded to Office 2013. 

Regards,

Hi Boopathi S,

Based on your description, it seems that file types maybe in conflict or associated with another application.

First I suggest you try this method and check if it works for you:
Please go to Control Panel- Programs- Default Programs- Set Default Programs, select Excel and then select Set this program as default. This will associate all files types listed under the excel program.

If it not works for you, please try to repair your Office program. You can refer to this link about how to repair Office:

Any updates please let me know, I'm glad to help and follow up your reply.

Hello Ami Zhang,

Control Panel- Programs- Default Programs- Set Default Programs, select Excel and then select Set this program as default is works. 

But why it is happening. How do i find it. Because it is happening for multiple machines at the same site.

Hi BoopathiS,

Because your Office upgrade from 2010 to 2013, the issue might be caused by the regedit key of associating file types didn't associate new Office program.

Normally, you can resolve this issue by repairing Office program.

Hope it's helpful.
