When I try to open my Excel document, an error message comes up:

The file may be read only, or you may be trying to access a read only
location. Or the server the document is stored on may not be responding.

Of course I've tried to fiddle with the Attributes in the file's properties.
I've checked Help and Online support. I'm pretty sure the file didn't copy
properly to the memory stick. However, the file still claims to be 255kb, so
data is there.

My question is: How can I recover this data?

Thanks to anyone who can help.
