I had a excel file saved on my USB stick. Now i cant open it.
It has no macros just simple list of numbers etc.
Excel error reads
"the 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"
tried excel open with repair - no luck

possibly corrupt - copy to your c drive, right click, properties, check it isn't read only, and check the size!!

If you know the name of the sheet, try accessing indirectly by using the path an name of the workbook and the sheet name.
Something along the lines of:-
='C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\[Workbook Name.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1:wall: Flagellation, necrophilia and bestiality - Am I flogging a dead horse? :wall:
