I have the Microsoft Student & Teacher edition of Office 2008 and am running legally licensed copies of Excel 2008 on both my computers. The computers are networked and I have complete privileges to access and share files across both. If I am on my MacMini and I try to open a certain file residing on my MacBook from within Excel 2008's open dialog, I get an error message that says "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." This is not the case as I can drag it from the location on my MacBook to the Documents folder on my MacMini and it works fine. Second, if I try to open a different file in the same location on my MacBook, I get the error message "The file might have been damaged or modified from its original format" This is also NOT TRUE, as I can open it locally to the MacBook or copy it from the MacBook to the MacMini and it works fine.
Other important things to note: I can use Preview on my MacMini to open PDF files sitting in the same directory on the Macbook as the files not above without any problem. So it is most definitely not a network or folder permissions issue.
help please!
Am running 10.5.5 on the MacBook and 10.5.6 on the MacMini
Thanks so much!
