Before I posted this I have

Rebooted
Copied the file
Sent it in an email to myself and my daughter
Tried to open it with another program
Checked to see if I had any other version of it _I don't
Checked the task manager and there were no programs running


Can't find any file with a ~ or anything else. Just don't know!!

oh rats, that happened to me once but i can't remember what i had to do. get online and into Microsoft or what ever your program is and see if you can find a customer service area. they do have help pages. good luck.

Rhonda

Thanks everone for trying I appreciate it! I think I am just going to put it aside for now. I rewrote the file so I am ok with what I was doing.
I would like to figure out the solution some time but for now I will put it on hold.

Thanks all!!

this is driving me crazy. i can't remember how to fix the problem, either.

do you have vista? if you do, try right-clicking on the file name to see if the option "restore previous versions" is listed. if it is, try that.

Rhonda

I have Windows XP Sorry to drive you crazy!!

Not sure that this will work, but you might try restarting your computer in safe mode. Once it is up and running try opening the file then. If that doesn't work, my yahoo screen name is [email protected]. I'll be happy to try to help.

Go to explore... go to the file file name, right click ... click on open with, select your program name...

This may help.

Rhonda

What do you mean by explore? I do know the file will not open anywhere but in Microsoft Works.
