My Excel document won't open - need to recover
When I try to open my Excel document, an error message comes up:
The file may be read only, or you may be trying to access a read only location. Or the server the document is stored on may not be responding. Of course I've tried to fiddle with the Attributes in the file's properties. I've checked Help and Online support. I'm pretty sure the file didn't copy properly to the memory stick. However, the file still claims to be 255kb, so data is there. My question is: How can I recover this data? Thanks to anyone who can help. Andrew |

i dont think its a security update issue. Its a simple corrupt file. Try copying the file again from the memory stick and be sure to disconnect the hardware before pulling it out. -- FireWater ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FireWater's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=33846 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=535443 |

Thank you FireWater,
It turned out later that it was the hardware, most probably not disconnected fully before I pulled it out. Andrew "FireWater" wrote: i dont think its a security update issue.
