Where is file located? HD or floppy -- if floopy most likely you are OOL Had
this file been saved before?


If HD, Reboot, Empty the Temp Internet files, Find the Temp Directories --
C:\windows\Temp and C:\documents & Settings\<user name>\local settings\temp
Delete all files in there
Reboot

Open Excel, try to open file.

What version Excel are you using?
