I went to MS Office assistance and downloaded the directives for creating
data cubes w/ Excel and a db;

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...563481033.aspx

I've Googled the error message below and still am not able to display my
cube in Excel:

Cube file could not be written. Edit the cube definition to try again. If
updating an existing cube file, make sure that the file is not being used by
Excel or some other application.

I created a new data source but to no avail. Does anyone have an idea as to
what my recourse may be? The database, FoodMart 2000, to my knowledge, is
not running anywhere else. I did rename the dimensions, like the example
calls for. Where do I "edit the cube definition"?

Thanks
