recently bought new pc with Vista. Saved old hard drive; connected as
external hard drive. Can't open Excel file "Document may be read-only or
encrypted". Any help greatly appreciated.
 
hi
is this a xl guestion? or a vista question? or a hardward quiestion?
what version xl do you have? I have not experience with vista(still stuck on
xp) but i have A+ training(not certified yet. working). why did you set your
old drive (assuming internal drive) as an external drive? Vista???. more info
please. and since you have vista, i may not be able to answer your question
but with more info, so one may.
regards

Don't know if it is xl, vista, or hardware question. I have MS Excel 2003.
Old PC stopped working, bought a new one with vista, saved the old hard drive
with all my files, and connected to new PC as an external drive. Could not
connect the old hard drive to the new PC because of a different "connection
point" (don't know what it is called, hope you know what I mean). Have had
lots of problems with "sharing" the files on old hard drive, but eventually
have been able to access most files so far, except this one. As you can
tell, don't have a lot of computer knowledge, so any help will be appreciated.
