Hi folks. I have just joined the forum and trust that I will be able to receive assistance with this unusual issue. I am using office 2010 and from 2 weeks ago I have been unable to open xls spread sheets that I received from certain clients. what makes this issue so unique is prior to this occurring I could open the spread sheets with no hassle. I can not even preview the document. However if I send it to a Colleague who uses office 2007 and they rename the file and send it back to me the spread sheet opens with no problems. the message I receive when trying to open the spread sheet is as follows:

Cannot create file: Nedgroup Investments Prices.xls. Right click the folder you want to create the file in and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder

I have followed the above but i am not opening the file in any folder and I can not copy and paste the attachment either.

Sounds like you're opening attachments. Tried saving them first? Also after doing so, rename them on your PC.

Hi Wired

Yes it is attachments that I am trying to open. I have tried to save them to my desktop but I receive the same message. It also does not allow me to drag the attachment across to the desktop. I have also deleted the Temp Internet Files to see if that could be the cause but still no joy.
