Linking Excel to Outlook??

I have a user with Office Basic Edition 2003. For some reason, he can't open
Excel files from Outlook. He used to be able to double click on an Excel
attachment and it would open in Excel. Now it tells him that Outlook can't
find the specified file. I think it's an Excel problem because Excel
spreadsheets that he has saved on his desktop also won't open. The only way
he can open spreadsheets is to open Excel, then use the File-Open command.
How do I fix this??

Sometimes one of these works for the desktop problem. Maybe it'll fix Outlook,
too.

Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)

--- or ---

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's
factory defaults.
