Saving Files Problem

[Terry8631]

I have been using Excel at work to do simple spreadsheets. When I wan
to take some data home to enter, I saved this info on a 3.5 diskette
When I try to open it at work I get a message that this file cannot b
accesssed. I am using the same systems on both machines.( Excel 2000.)
The message says " the file is either read-only or you may be trying t
acess a read-only location. Or, the server the document is stored on i
not responding"

Any Suggestions

Terry,

Never work directly in Excel from/to a diskette. There are many documented
problems. Instead, copy it to a hard-drive, open it from there in Excel,
save, then copy back from the hard-drive to the diskette.

NEVER. I repeat NEVER save a file to a floppy. Save to the HD and COPY to
the floppy.
Sorry to shout but necessary.
