How to open XLA_ file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft Excel 4 For Mac Add-in is that XLA_ is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file XLA_ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XLA_ file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Microsoft Excel
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Excel is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Excel into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file XLA_ with Microsoft Excel.

Programs to open XLA_ file
Remember to download programs supporting XLA_ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Excel with XLA_ files
If, despite the installed application, the XLA_ file does not start in the Microsoft Excel application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Excel application as the default for handling the XLA_ file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Excel to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Excel program with the Microsoft Excel 4 For Mac Add-in file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XLA_ file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The XLA_ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XLA_ file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XLA_ file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected XLA_ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of XLA_ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged XLA_ files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file XLA_ except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move XLA_ to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the XLA_ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XLA_ to close. However, some background programs may block the XLA_ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
