Unable to open file
I have a third party application that allows me to export
data to excel. When I try to do it, I get the following error: "[filename] cannot be accessed. 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." I am running Windows XP. I recently upgraded from Office XP to Office 2003. That is when my problem began. Does anyone have any fixes?

"Ignore other Applications" was already unchecked.
I did re-register Excel and that did not help either. Any other suggestions? My third party software provider tells me that if the windows and office versions are not the same this can happen. I do not understand why this would be the case.

How are you trying to access the file? Through Excel or through Explorer?
Where is the file located? On your HD? On a floppy? On a Server? What AV are you using? Have you tried running the file from the 3rd party software, waiting a while, then accessing it? Have you cleared out your Temp internet files and your Temp file directories?

Unable to open file
When I export the file, it automatically launches Excel
and is supposed to open the file. It creates a tab delimited file on a mapped network drive. I have to copy the file to my local drive to be able to open it. I have other users that have Windows XP and Office XP and they can do this without any issues. All my users are using Norton Anti-virus and I have emptied all my temp files. I have no other ideas.

I do have Norton setup to scan all files. But I have
