This error may appear if you attempt to open a file marked as damaged or
disabled by a Microsoft Office system program. Each time an attempt is made
to open the file ? even if the file was recovered or repaired ? will cause
this error to appear and other currently open files or programs to suspend.
The file is in the Disabled Items list because, in previous attempts to open
the file, it has caused the program to fault or shut down more than once.
Microsoft Project, Microsoft SharePoint Designer, and Microsoft OneNote: If
the file was properly recovered, replaced, or deleted, you can remove the
file from the list of disabled files (re-enable the file) by selecting Help,
About Microsoft Office Application Name, and then clicking Disabled Items.
Select the disabled item that you want to re-enable, and then click Enable.
Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Visio, Microsoft Publisher, and Microsoft
InfoPath: If the file was properly recovered, replaced, or deleted, you can
remove the file from the list of disabled files (re-enable the file) by
selecting Tools, Trust Center, and then selecting Add-ins. In the Manage
list, click the arrow and select Disabled Items, click Go, and then select
the disabled item that you want to re-enable.
Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Microsoft Word:
If the file was properly recovered, replaced, or deleted, you can remove the
file from the list of disabled files (re-enable the file) by clicking the
Microsoft Office button, and then clicking Application Name Options. In the
Manage list, click the arrow and select Disabled Items, click Go, and then
select the disabled item that you want to re-enable.
Re-enabling a file does not guarantee the application can open it. The file
must be recovered from either a backup or undamaged recovered file.
