Support and Feedback / Excel focus
« on: July 24, 2016, 15:29:01 »
This is a really nice program, but there is a little niggle that is stopping it completely taking over from Windows Explorer.
When I try to open a file in Excel directly from MC, whether using the keyboard or mouse, it opens the file, BUT, either Excel stays in the background without focus, or Excel comes to the front but does not have focus (so it is not responsive to the keyboard or mouse). MC does not do this with other file types such as Word or PDFs, which suggests that it is an issue with Excel, but Windows Explorer and one other similar program that I tried do not have this issue at all.
I open dozens of Excel files every day, so unfortunately this is a bit of a deal breaker.
Hopefully someone can help? I am using Windows 7 Pro and Excel 2003, if it matters.
Thank you
