First, it's not a good idea to work directly off a floppy.

Better to use windows explorer to copy to your local harddrive, work on it
there, then use windows explorer to copy it back from the harddrive to your
floppy.

Floppies are notoriously bad. They get damaged much more easily than your
Harddrive.

I use this philosophy for all applications--not just excel (and the rest of
office!).

I've been having trouble with "A" drive in Excel. I put in the disc to
update it with information and it will not retrieve any material previously
put on the disc and indicates "a drive not accessible - may be formatted for
macintosh"...then everything n my disc is gone and i can't access the "A"
drive anymore. What is happening here....what am I doing wrong.?
