Moved files and can't find them
I moved all of my related 2006 files/folders to a single folder "2006". Now
when I go into this "2006" folder that has all of my work for last year I get an error message saying that they can't be found because they were moved. Can I get these missing files back. |

Moved files and can't find them
I did as you suggested and again I found the file but when I tried to open it
"could not be found" and asking if the file was moved. I moved all these files by creating a new folder and just moving them into the new folder with my cursor.

Open Excel and a good workbook.
Go to ToolsOptionsGeneral and uncheck "Ignore other applications" Try again opening from your 2006 folder.

Hi Gord, did as you suggested. The "Ignore other applications" was already
without a check in the box. Any other suggestions. "Gord Dibben" wrote: Open Excel and a good workbook.

What happens if you try to open the file through fileopen?
Close excel and in windows click the start button lower left corner startrun, then type excel.exe /unregserver then do startrun again and type excel.exe /regserver -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Irene" wrote in message ...
