I'm running Excel 2003 under win 7 Pro x64. I used to have shortcuts on my desktop for the tables I use regularly. but when I click on one now, Excel opens on a blank and I get "There was a problem sending the command to the program." I can still open the file from within Excel, just can't click the shortcut to open Excel and the file together. This also happens if I click on the file in Explorer. This problem does not occur with Word 2003.
