An Excel spreadsheet (Office 2003) is giving the following message. "File
cannot be accessed. The file may be 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".

It is my file and I have not protected it. It does not offer the option of
open as 'read only'. It is stored on the c drive of my standalone notebook.
The same message occurs when I try to open it on the back up drive and on a
memory stick on another notebook. I have checked for and corrected errors in
Office using the add/remove software option. No other file is responding in
this way.
