Excel 2003 - Error says file is already open when it isn't
xxxx.xls is already open. Reopening will cause any changes you made to be
discarded. Do you want to reopen xxxx.xls? Yes or No The file is not open but other files that are linked to this file work fine. However, I cannot link to the file that is already open. The file size says 210 kb but when it does open there is nothing there and I cannot do anything in the file. Any suggestions? |

Excel 2003 - Error says file is already open when it isn't
If you look at the formula that links back to xxxx.xls when excel thinks the
file is open, do those formulas include the drive and path? If they do, then the workbook isn't open. But if the drive and path are not there (you see =[xxxx.xls]sheet1!a1, without the path), then xxxx.xls is really open. Maybe the workbook's window isn't visible. window|arrange|tiled and resize the way you like. Maybe the workbook's window is hidden. Window|unhide Leanne wrote: xxxx.xls is already open.
