Excel 2000
 

Hello,

I created a new folder for an already existing file, then I draged the
file into the new folder. My problem is that now I can't open the file.
What can I do? Please help!

Excel 2000
 

Do you get any error message?

How are you trying to open the file?

How do you know it is not open?

I have tried to open the file from within excel and also from my docs. The
error message I get is that is that the file may be read only or encrypted.
Do you have any solutions? Much appreciated!

Open it as read only and then save it as a new file.

How do you open as a read only file?

You said you get a message indicating that the file is read only.

So open the file as a read only file and then save it with a different name.

After I try to open the file I get the message then I press the OK button and
it closes the message. I can't access it all. I wish I could read only, but
I can't.
