    Excel doc cannot be accessed

    Hello every1!

    Got the following problem: while saving my Excel sheet a blue screen appeared.

    When I tried to access the file afterwards, following message appeared: "'filename' cannot be accessed. File may be read only, or you may be trying to access a read only location. Or, the server the document is stored on may not be responding".

    Can the file be unlocked so I can access it again?

    Many thx in advance for your replies!

    NicNaCsKe, welcome to Virtualdr.com!!

    have you tried right clikcing the excel document, and then going to properties, double check to make sure READ ONLY is not checked...
    if it is, uncheck it and try to open it again...
    if it is not checked, post back here and we'll look deeper into this...
