set xls in emails to open with excel

Yesterday I migrated all my files and settings from my core duo 2.66 macbook pro to my new i7 quad 2.6.

Excel did not transfer over right, so I uninstalled and re-installed. It now works fine, but when I click an excel attachment (xls or xlsx) from an email it will not open. It gives me tha choice of what to open with, but will not open.

I now have to save the file and then fine it in finder to click.

If I click on any excel file in finder, it opens properly.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)

One more question? is there a way to copy over (from the old computer) my personal macros and toolbars?

never mind the last question. I copied the macros into text edit and pasted them into new modules on the new computer.
