Window cannot find Excel files

[Russell Dawson]

I’m hoping you can help here with a problem I am having with Excel 2007. Using Vista and trying to access Excel files through “Documents” I am getting this error message:

Windows cannot find ‘C:Users\User\Documents\MYFILENAME.xlsx’. Make sure you typed to name correctly and then try again.

I can access the files by going through Excel and Opening from there.

I can access Word documents from “Documents”.

I can’t understand it. I’ve tried finding a solution in the usual way through Google but nothing seems to match up with my problem and I’m loathe to delve into the system and change settings yet as suggested by similar but not exact problems if there is a simple solution.

Is the file name in the message correct or only partial?

Hi there,

I've just solved this a few minutes ago by doing a restore. However, that caused a problem with Chrome and the message was "Unable to find locale" or similar. Solved that by uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome. Not sure if anything else is affected at this stage.

I mentioned it on this forum as I could only think that the only Excel files that I had looked at had come via this site.

Fingers crossed . . . .

Hello guys..

Firstly check your file is available on this location or not. then check proper spelling of your xls file.
