When I double click on an xlsx Excel file, it opens as readonly temp file xl0000001.xls and I cannot save any changes. To work around this, I close the spreadsheet without closing Excel. Then open the same file again and the correct file is opened in readwrite mode.
There are so many ways a user configuration can be in terms of versions of Excel, Office, Windows, SPs, filters, browsers, frameworks, wrappers, and Document Management Systems. It's ridiculous to give users the run around to different groups or forums specializing is artificially segrated topics. Excel users know they're screwed until they (and their correspondents) switch to sane open document format, so they'll try everything with a reasonable effort, then go away. The so-called experts never really solve or fix anything. Users arrive at some passable workaround and just stop coming back.
