Re: cannot open excel file - error log created

I have to ask if that is your task list when Excel is not open. If so then
it should not show up and that means you have multiple sessions running. If
that is the case then close the one showing up in the tasks.

I would assume you have already rebooted but if not then please do so.

Hopefully that helps
