Hi again
I have tried restoring this file

What do you mean?
If your file was copied from the CD onto your hard disk and from there (your
hard disk) you unticked the read-only attribute and got the message, then I
am afraid I do not have a clue unless the file is corrupt or I have missed
something?

Hi
The files you save on a CD(R) become Read-Only.
Once you restore these files from your CD onto your hard drive, remember
to
reset their attribute by UNticking "Read-only" on the files properties.

My computer recently crashed and I was able to back-up my data from my
hard
drive to a cd before I did a system restore. I have MS Office 2000. I
am
trying to open an Excel file from the cd and I get the following
message:

"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. Access is denied."

When I try to change the properties of the file and take off the
read-only
attribute, I get the following message:

"An error occurred applying the attributes to the file. Access is
denied."

I also tried doing an xcopy of the file to the hard drive and I get the
same
message. There are other Excel files on the same cd which open just
fine.
How
can I open this file?
