Thanks for replying, Linda.  From the CD, Access files, Word
files & PowerPoint files open just fine.  The Excel files don't,
so I tend to think it's an Excel issue versus a CD drive or disk
issue.  Copying the Excel files to the hard drive and opening
from the hard drive using Windows Explorer also brings up the
error message.  The CD drive I'm using is the E: drive.  (Again,
opening Excel first lets me open the files on the CD - I prefer
to open from Windows Explorer, if possible, and that way worked
just fine before yesterday.)

When trying to open Excel files from Windows Explorer via CD or
hard drive, the Excel program opens, then the error message
presents itself.

PS Is there a way to reply via the freelists.org site?  I don't
see a way, hence I'm copying info and pasting into a new email
message.

Did you try copying the file from the CD onto your hard drive
from
there?  Can you open other excel files that are already on your
computer
from within Windows Explorer or is it just files on your CD?  Is
your CD
the E drive?

I'm sorry I don't know why the text didn't/doesn't wrap.  I have
some more comments about this problem.  

If I open the files from in Excel, the files open. (Open Excel,
then use File, Open) For my task, it's easier to open from
Windows Explorer.  I've been able to do it from Windows Explorer
all along . . . until yesterday.  Any thoughts?  No new programs
added or deleted.  No changes of any kind -- just standard
Excel, Word, email, Internet Explorer use on this computer.
