Elizabeth was in her office. She's on a network. The network O.S. is
Microsoft 2000. She was working in Word 2002. Here is the message she sent
to her M.I.S. people, which they won't read until Monday.

"Dear Gurus ~

"I have been working (for months) on a Performance Report. It is 31 pages
long, carrying with it multiple graphs, tables and photos. While working on
it today, my machine said something had happened, and it had to close the
document. Both the document closed and Word closed.

"Since then I have not been able to re-open the Word document, despite
multiple re-boots and re-tries. I can see the document on my H drive on the
server, and when I hover my cursor over it, it says that the 19.5KB of data
is still there.

"File name is "FY 2007 Performance Report.03.06.08" It is on my H drive in
a folder called Trailblazers, and another folder under that one called
Performance Report FY 2007, both of which now give me the following error


"Message when I try to open: Doc name or path is not valid. Try:
Check file permissions for document drive
Use the File Open dialog box to locate document."

The stranger thing is, she had her memory stick inserted when this happened,
and we cannot open the older file from the stick; seems like whatever
happened affected both the original file AND the file she had backed up on
the stick.

I have Office 2003. I inserted the stick at home. When I attempt to open
the file, Word 2003 error box gives me approximately the same message, with
the added proviso to use text recovery. When I attempt to open under text
recovery, the original error message comes up about cannot open.

Any ideas would be of immense help. She'd like to work on the file this
weekend.

Thank you in advance,

Ernie
