Can't read file
You can check to see if it is disabled by clicking on ExcelHelpAbout
Microsoft ExcelDiabled Items and if it is on the disabled list, click on enable. However, since it was disabled by the system, there must be something in the file that is causing a problem, so you should save it to a floppy and not run it with any other Excel files open until you figure out what the problem is.

OK, I'm running Excel2003 (v11), so you must have an earlier version. It is
also possible that the file is corrupt.
