Excel database document

Posted on February 14, 2018

I’ve google a bit about this can’t seem to find a straight answer. Since I have updated Windows 10, my Excel database document will not open. It just goes to a gray screen with the filename listed, and nothing else. Has anyone else seen this problem?
