Has anyone else noticed this problem with data files using Excel 2.2? If the file is one the same disk/volume as the Excel application, the icon appears normally (note that it is slightly different than the icon for a 1.5 file). However, once you move the data file or application to another disk/volume, the data file looses it's icon and becomes that of just an ordinary document. Double clicking on it will launch Excel, but it is a little disturbing to have this happen. This has never happened on any other application ever before. Systems include a Mac Plus and IIx, running 6.0.3, although I don't think this has any influence. I'm not sure I can do much about it, but I would like to at least know that it's not only me.
