Opening excel files

When I used to double click on an excel document, the program would start and open the document.  Now when I double click on the document, the program opens but then I have to go to the the file and find the document again in order for it to open.  This just started about a week ago and is driving me crazy.  Not sure if I hit a wrong command button.  The help files don't provide any assistance.  Suggestions?

    Hey Scott:

     

    Did you try this:

     

    1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
    2. Click the General tab.
    3. Clear the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) check box, and then click OK.

    or any of the other options in this help article?
