floppy not accessible in a drive
I've been having trouble with "A" drive in Excel. I put in the disc to
update it with information and it will not retrieve any material previously put on the disc and indicates "a drive not accessible - may be formatted for macintosh"...then everything n my disc is gone and i can't access the "A" drive anymore. What is happening here....what am I doing wrong.? L. Findlay |

First, it's not a good idea to work directly off a floppy.
Better to use windows explorer to copy to your local harddrive, work on it there, then use windows explorer to copy it back from the harddrive to your floppy. Floppies are notoriously bad. They get damaged much more easily than your Harddrive. I use this philosophy for all applications--not just excel (and the rest of office!).
