Can't open Excel attachment

Excel file doesn't open when I choose Open. Restarted EN but still doesn't work.

It's still working for me. Does double click also not work?

Thanks, Mike. I tried it on my other computer and both double click and Open worked just fine.

@nstacy3 If you have an Excel sheet on, say, your desktop - not inside Evernote - can you double click the icon and open it inside the Excel program. It feels like you might not have the xls or xlsx file extension associated with Excel.

I am having same issue.  When I click on excel file attachment in evernote my anti virus says it's opening powershell instead of excel.  Even though Excel is the associated program. I can download from evernote and it works, but I can't open directly from evernote.

@debralWhat A/V program do you use? I saw this back a few months ago and my vendor supposedly sent out new A/V definitions to address this. Best I can tell, this new version of EN now uses Windows PowerShell to make the launch call to your 3rd party app for the spreadsheet and this looks suspicious to security A/V software. You can try to get new A/V definitions or you can add an exception to your A/V or security program for PowerShell.
