Save them to your hard disk. When finished running Excel, copy the file to the memory stick. You might try copying the offending file to your hard disk to see if you can then open it in Excel. Bill |

In general the advice is don't save from Excel to a memory stick. Save to a
hard drive, & then copy to a memory stick when you've finished. -- David Biddulph "madds" wrote in message ...

excel found unreadable content in file..... do you want to rec
I am having the same problem and i am not saving to a memory stick. I do not
see any reason why you could not save to a memory stick anyway. I have saved lots of data to memory stick with no write or read errors. You could have read or write errors on a hard drive too. This problem has nothing to do with memory sticks guys. Are ther any other solutions out there? "David Biddulph" wrote: In general the advice is don't save from Excel to a memory stick.
