    @happyangmoh have you tried dragging the attachment to the Desktop?

    Hi @happyangmoh,

    Did Stephen's suggestion help you to open the attachment? I haven't personally run into an Excel error message like that before, but it seems to be related to the location of the Excel file. If you copy the Excel file to the Desktop (by dragging it) and try to open it from there, it should be a shorter file path and will hopefully work. Let us know how it goes, thanks! :)

    Yes yes - sorry guys I got caught up and couldn't reply earlier - Yes ! it worked. Simple drag and drog anywhere on my Finder and then I could open the file. FYI i found out that if I reduce the filename, I can open it directly from 1Password.
    Original filename (without .xls) was 35 characters length
    New filename (without .xls) is now 13 characters length and can be opened directly by clicking on it.
    Thanks again to the community !!
