You should be able to share files.
How did the boss try to open the file -- by double clicking on it in windows explorer (or opening from an email) or by starting excel and then using the equivalent of File|open? And what happened when the boss tried and failed? Any error/warning messages? Suzie762 wrote: At home I have Excel 2007 student version. My boss has Excel 2007 commercial version.

I was doing the work (not the boss), I opened Excel on his computer and
double clicked the file which I transfered with a flash drive. Can't remember exact wording, but something like......can't find file, check spelling and wording of document. Was is the way I saved it at home? Thanks for your help! Very much appreciated. "Dave Peterson" wrote: You should be able to share files.

Nope.
Open excel, then hit ctrl-o to open your workbook. Personally, I'd copy that file from the thumbdrive to the local harddrive (or network drive). I don't think it's a good idea to work on files directly from removeable storage (but that's not the problem). I bet the boss had trouble opening a file on his own pc if it or its path contains space characters. Saved from a previous post: Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on the file in windows explorer: Tools|Options|General|Uncheck "Ignore other applications" (xl2003 menus) or Office Button|Excel Options|Advanced|General|Uncheck "Ignore other applications that use DDE" (xl2007) --- or --- Close Excel and Windows Start Button|Run excel /unregserver then Windows Start Button|Run excel /regserver The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets some of the windows registry to excel's factory defaults.
