Any discernible pattern between the some that open and some that don't? If you still have XL04 on your machine (XL04 and XL08 play fine together), can you still open them in XL08?

My problem is that i am only having problems with those located on shares.

Hi I too have this problem. I have trashed preference files as suggested but no change, did you do anything else as well?

Trash com.microsoft.office.plist & com.microsoft.Excel.plist in / Users/"User Name"/Library/Preferences/ On Mar 30, 3:03 am, Richard.Tod...@googlemail.com wrote: > On Feb 5, 6:53 pm, ryantdev...@gmail.com wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > I too have this problem.

I have the same issue with excel files file sharing from a machine running 2008 to another machine with 2008 I am having the same problem accessing files on a remote server. The files on the drive on my computer work fine, but I get that $#%& error message whenever I try to open a file on the server, or when I try to save a file on the server. This problem appears to be limited to Excel. And, by the way, the Mac app Numbers opens the files fine. |
