Hi,

I've an xls2000 file in Win98 and it is protected by
password. When I open it recently, the following error
message prompted:


'xls 2000 file' cannot be accessed. The file may-be read
only, or you may try to access a read-only location. Or,
the server the document is stored on may not be
responding.

I've tried to open it in Win2k environment but same error
display and since I cannot open the file, all the recovery
steps posted on the Knowledge base could not be done.

Any great idea and solution to solve my problem?

Thx. a lot.

I'm afraid all my tips are aimed at unprotected workbooks, which
normally have the greatest chance on getting anything out of them.

All I can advise you is to consider contacting a commercial file
recovery company. There are various ones around, just search on Google
for Excel file recovery.
