Cannot see old files
Since i upgraded to Office 2016 i have trouble opening Excel files from My Documents.
If i get an email with an Excel file - it will not open.
i can go into old emails and open workbooks from there but not the direct way.
Excel opens but the workbooks are blank.
i can open it through the online login but not my desktop
