Help-Can't Open a Document

Hi Tony

Unfortunately you have experienced the horror of saving Excel documents to
floppy disks and losing the file.

Hope the files were not important and if they were,hope that you have a good
recent backup of them somewhere on your HD


In the future, never save or open directly to or from a Floppy disk (or cd).
SAve to your HD, then copy the file to the disk. When you need to open the
file, copy to your HD and then open in Excel.

Since you have already tried moving the files and you cant, there are no real
options to you except restore or recreate
