Hi there,

Recently I installed Office 2013 and deinstalled the previous version Office XP ( aka Office 2002 ).
I tried to open some xlsm files but when I open it by double click on them it opens a "save as" screen... It is an XLSM file that is located on my desktop.

When I open first excel and then go to file --> open and open the file, it opens just fine.
I want to open it by double clicking it and not like this.

Word Documents don't have this issue and open just fine.

I also made sure that the extensions are connected to the appropriate application but it still doesnt work.
It just shows a save as screen as stated earlier and doesnt open the file in Excel.

Could anyone please inform me of what I am mi

Hi Andre,

Only the XLSM file created in previous office version excel can't be opened or all of them can't be opened?
I think it should be a file association problem ,please refer to the thread below:
