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!
