cannot open excel file it cant be accessed
Dear Reader,
About one year ago I saved my thesis essential documents containing Excel documents on a CD (Compact Disk recordable; 52X multi speed). Then I checked the CD. All the files would open correctly. But now I cannot open most of the excel files except a few from the CD. Microsoft Excel error is " 'file name.xls' cannot be accessed. The file may be read-only, or you may trying to access a read-only location. Or, the server the document is stored on may not be responding". when I click cancel, another error appears: " Cannot access 'file name.xls' ". I do not think the files have been damaged because, when I open the properties the size on disk has not be changed. Furthermore I have tried "open and repair" option opening the files, but it was useless. It is needed to say these files cannot be copied either. The copying error is: " Cannot copy filename: Cannot read from the source file or disk.". I will be so appreciated if you can help me opening the files. They are so essential for me.
Sincerely Rasoul Abbasi
