Default file.xls cannot be accessed...Read only...

The file is stored on Flash mem. stick. As I have mentioned previously I
cannot make copy of the file...!
I tried many times to copy it but I get error message.

THX & Reg.

Try first copying the file to your HD then open it from there.

I have ***.xls file, when I come to open the file I recv a mesg. "file.xls
cannot be accessed. 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."...???

I can't copy this file to anywhere.
I have checked all the file properties of the file & folder for read only
check mark.

Any way to recover this file?
Please advise, thanks & regards,
