Where are these documents stored (e.g., local machine, network server)?
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? |

i'm having the exact same problem. have you found any solutions?
also are the documents that you cannot open only located on share
points or are they on the local machine. My problem is that i am only
having problems with those located on shares. >> Stay informed about: Cannot access some excel files |

Hi
I too have this problem. I have trashed preference files as suggested
but no change, did you do anything else as well? >> Stay informed about: Cannot access some excel files |

It works for me.
Try this:
1. Quit all your Office application first.
2. Trash com.microsoft.office.plist & com.microsoft.Excel.plist in /
Users/"User Name"/Library/Preferences/ >> Stay informed about: Cannot access some excel files |

Try changing the Volume name of your drive where the file resides. >> Stay informed about: Cannot access some excel files |

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. >> Stay informed about: Cannot access some excel files |
