Problem opening files from server
When attempting to open a file from the server by clicking the short cut to
the folder on the server, then the file I get the following message: Windows cannot find 'L:\name_of-file.xls'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. If I bring up excel 2007, then click the "folder" to the right of the 'Office Button' (upper left hand corner), it brings up a listing of the network drives and the files under them. I can click on the *.xls that I desire to open and it opens it without a problem. Also, I can click the 'Office Button' and the file I wish to open is listed under 'Recent Documents' - click it and it opens. Any suggestions as to what I might do to correct the problem would be greatly appreciated! |

Problem opening files from server
It sounds like the shortcut may not be pointing to the correct folder on the
server. This can happen often when moving or renaming folders or files. Try going to the server and viewing the contents of "L" and when you see the actual folder right drag and create a new shortcut in the spot where you need the shortcut to be.
