Trying to open a frequently used Excel file from floppy disk. Error message
says. "..fil.xls cannot be accessed, The file maybe read-only, or you may be
trying to access a read-only location."

I am running Excel 2003. The online update tool tells me I have all the
current updates. Other Excel files on this floppy open fine. The file in
question opened fine a couple of days ago. I tried to copy the file to my
desktop. Windows went through the motions but eventually produced a can't
read the file message.

Is there hope?
