I want to thank everyone who gave me suggestions to fix my Excel problem (double-clicking an Excel spreadsheet would open Excel, but not load the spreadsheet). I discovered the problem and now everything is hunky-dunky.
The suggestion to ensure Tools=>General=>Ignore Other Applications was unchecked was the solution. A number of people told me to check it and I did both with only Excel loaded, and with Excel and a spreadsheet loaded; however, finding it wasn't as simple as we all figured. When I opened Excel (program only), "Ignore Other Applications" was unchecked. The box was also unchecked when I loaded several work-related spreadsheets. However, when I loaded a spreadsheet that I use to track blood sugar, there it was...CHECKED. This spreadsheet is over six months old and is only used to monitor the affects of food/drinks on my glucose. (I'm a Type II diabetic trying to keep things under control through diet changes versus insulin injections.) I never checked "Ignore Other Applications" on this or any other spreadsheet, so I am unsure how that happened. Also, it was the only one that I loaded that had that box checked. Everything is now working the way it should now and I am a happy puppy....although, looking at that glucose spreadsheet, it appears that I should not have had that extra shot of Tequila on New Years Day to celebrate University of Michigan's win over Florida in some obscure bowl game.....
