SUMMARY
Files compressed with Disk Doubler, version 3.7.1 or earlier, will not automatically decompress when opened from Excel's list of recently used files on the File menu. Compressed files will also not automatically decompress when opened as a part of a workspace.

When a compressed file is opened from the most recently used files list it will open as a blank worksheet or you may receive an error message.

Compressed files open correctly with the Open command from the File menu.

MORE INFORMATION
