    Excel error when opening documents "problem sending the command..."


    Hi,

    I just registered to share the fact that I had to do one additional thing to make it all work.
    I'm on Windows 10 and Office 2016 and I needed to also change the /dde in the Command entry.
    See picture.

    Thanks Jimbo, this solves my problem. My Office could not print anything until I ran them as admin, but Excel just did not work that way. It shown an error opening the file and the only way to open is to open Excel first and locate to the file using "Open", which is really really inconvenience compared to Click-to-open.

    Thanks again !

    Excel error when opening documents "problem sending the command..."

    Hi again,

    After applying those fixes, now I am able to open and print excel files. However, I see they are opened in separated processes and they don't see each other. I want to use Move and Copy to another opening file but it is now impossible.

    Any advise ?

    Thanks in advance.

    I signed up deliberately and only to extend my gratitude for the solution here. It was driving me crazy since yesterday on my work pc. And of course ... (of COURSE) my company IT had zippo idea what the issue was. I finally came here via Daddy Google.

    Thanks again - good work!
