Default Excel 2000 again

Hello,

I created a folder and dragged and dropped a file into it and now I can
not open it at all. I get the message that it is read only or encrypted. I
can not access it at all. Can someone help me?

Thanks
Anne Marie

I used to get this when retrieving files from CD's.........maybe just re-set
the attributes on the file, or open the file from it's original location and
then saveas to where you want it to go..........

I just tried your suggestion and it did not work. Do you have any other
suggestions?

Are you saying that you can open the file from it's original location and
that no matter where you SaveAs it to, that you cannot re-open it from that
location.......or that you can not open the subject file, only if saved in
the specific directory that you just created..........

Could be the file is protected, (if so contact the original author), or
perhaps corrupt. Is there a copy with an earlier date around
somewhere.........maybe MIS can retrieve one from the Archive.
