Hello CB,

You are not using Norton AntiVirus, but the problem may be similar. Does
your antivirus program have a feature that plugs into Microsoft Office? It
may be worth exploring your antivirus options given that WandS and Chris
Powell's answers are clearing up this problem for a lot of us.

Hello All.
I also have a similar/same problem. I have been using Beta 2007 and very
happy with it. However my computer crashed a few days ago and I had to
reinstall everything and now that I have reinstalled Beta 2007 to the latest
version I cannot open my 2007 excel files that were created with the previous
2007 version I was using. I receive an error msg and when I look into the
error report it states €œMicrosoft has reviewed this error report and
determined that this problem will be fixed in an upcoming 2007 Microsoft
Office System Beta release.€� Which is great but I need this excel document
for work and worry I may have lost everything and have some late nights
redoing everything. I am not using Norton (as I have read it may cause
problems) I also have disconnected my antivirus and still have same error. I
could really use some help. Thanks

Hello all,
Up until a couple of hours ago- everything worked great- using the beta 2007
ms office. I just updated the beta version with the Beta2 teachnical
refresh- & I can't open any excel files or word files- not one! the error
says that there is a conflict with my anti -virus program & that the file is
corrupted, so I disabled the anti-virus program& tried to open them again-
same problem- every single file effected. Has anyone else encountered this
problem? Any solutions?
