PAssword protected file will not open
Hi all.
I have an excel 2003 document that cannot seem to open. I know the password is right but when I put the password in, I get a message that says: ''Divers.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'm trying to open the file from a USB drive, but I get the same error even if I copy it to the desktop and try to open it. There are other password protected .xls files on the drive and they open fine. Please help. |

Have you looked at the file properties, using Windows Explorer? Is the
read-only attribute set? -- David Biddulph "jetta878" wrote in message ... Hi all. I have an excel 2003 document that cannot seem to open.

If you opened and save on a USB flash drive it might be that the file is
corrupt, that happened quite often with files opened and saved on floppies due to the way Excel creates temp files etc. One thing you might want to try is to download open office and try to open it using that program -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "jetta878" wrote in message ...

Open office worked great. Opened it up no problem. Removed password and it
re-opened in Excel just fine. Thank you very much for the help.

PAssword protected file will not open
I am having a similar problem, but I never saved the file on a usb drive. I
have 2 password protected excel 2007 files that decided as of today, they won't open. I don't know why and I don't know how to fix it. They are very important files. I understand the problem is not that the file is corrupt but something to do with the user authorization?
