Receiving error when trying to open file.

[Guest]

Trying to open a file. It was working fine yesterday. Today, I am receiving
this error,'CheckRegistry.xls' cannot be accessed. This maybe read-only, or
you may be trying to access a read only location. Or, the server the document
is stored on may not be responding. This file is on a floppy disk. It is not
a read only file.

FYI, I'm using Excel 2002 on Windows XP Service Pack 2 and this is the first
time I've received this error.

Hi John,

If you copy the file to your hard disk can you open it from there? It's
generally not a good idea to open or save workbooks from Excel directly to a
floppy disk.
