Excel 2010 cannot open ~xlsx file from WD ShareSpace

Excel fails to open an ~xlsx file from the Western Digital NAS. It shows downloading .... than fails cannot open file.
The file was previously fine and if it is copied the copy opens easily. If the copy is renamed I can use Excel's recent files option to open it. The old file cannot be opened even if renamed.
I can typically use the file for a day or so, then it becomes unusable. It cannot be opened from another Windows 7 machine either but again a copy is accessible.
The files are small typically 100Kb, password protected
Windows and Office are up to date on both machines
The problem is becoming more frequent with no apparent cause
I have tried opening from explorer, the recently used files list in Excel, and file ... open
I have tried using mapped drive, UNC name, IP address
The network location is recorded as trusted
Although there is the potential to share the file it has not been opened by other users in between working and entering the state where it cannot be used.
When a file is unusable in Excel right clicking in explorer takes a long time to offer the normal context menu. However if the file is selected then copy/paste is quick and unaffected.
Please can anyone help me fix this annoying issue.

Hi,
According to your description, I have some questions.
Would you share us the whole error message when opening the special Excel file?
Did the copy file work well in the NAS?
Did you move the special Excel file to another NAS folder to test?
Did the special Excel file works well in the local disk (Download it)?
Then, I suppose that the file may be used by other program\handle\process in the background during opening process.  Please try to use the tool named
Handle (It is a utility that displays information about open handles for any process in the system. You can use it to see the programs that have a file open, or to see the
object types and names of all the handles of a program.) to check.
Steps:
Copy handle.exe to C:\Windows\system32 folder.
Run cmd.exe as administrator
Type handle -a C: /Test/test in command prompt, then it will list all handles and processes accessing this folder.
  4. It shows that cmd.exe is accessing c:\Test\test. Then, we can use
handle –c command to close the handles, along with
the handle ID, and the process ID, and the "-y" switch to confirm the delete.

  • I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

    I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way.  I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

    Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers).  If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged.  This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
    You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

    I cannot open a file from lightroom into CC2014 unless I open it as a smart object. CC opens, just will not display my image. i am given an error code when I save an image, and can only save to my desktop or other locations, not automatically back into my lightroom.
    I am using LR5 latest update, as well as CC2014
    Below is the error message:

    I was also having this issue, and I did some more searching and found this answer in the Adobe forums: Re: Photos from Lightroom 5 to Photoshop CC (2014) and back.... The issue appears to be caused by having not updated Lightroom to the latest version prior to having CC2014 installed (wow that's stupid). The trick seems to be to uninstall Photoshop CC2014 and to then reinstall it after having upgraded to Lightroom 5.5.

    It's a way of opening the Raw files from your OM-D EM-1 without having to upgrade to LR5.
    In short, you open the Raw files from the camera uing the DNG converter, convert the Raw files to DNGs. Then you edit the DNG files in LR4.4.

    I just began month trial of cs6 & cannot open raw files from nikon 600?

    Have you updated your Photoshop to get the latest Camera Raw update patch?  If not go to:

    This should get you the necessary updates for your camera assuming it is not "too recent".
    Good luck and post back.

  • After file encryption in Windows 7, Excel cannot open .xlsx file

    I just moved all my files to a new laptop with Windows 7.  I was using Excel 2007 and Windows XP on the OLD laptop.  The NEW laptop has Windows 7 Ultimate and Excel 2010.  I turned on file encryption (via Windows File Explorer) and now I'm
    unable to open most Excel files.  
    The error message says: "Excel cannot open the file 'ABC.xlsx' because the file format or file extension is not valid.  Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file."
    I can open the file just fine if I use the backup version from the old laptop.  It appears that the Windows 7 file encryption damaged the file from Excel's perspective.  No other applications are showing issues and not all .xlsx files are failing.
    Any ideas, please?
    Thanks,
    Ken

    This is not a solution but a possible work around to see/salvage the contents of your file. If you have a Google Account
    Go to Google Docs (https://docs.google.com)
    Log in with your credentials
    Upload the troublesome files (xlsx, docx etc)
    If you are lucky Google may be able to salvage their contents.
    Once uploaded, you can always download the file from Google in a variety of formats

  • "Unable to read file" error in Excel 2010 when downloading .xls file from IE11

    We have lots of reports that have links for our users to be able to download report results in Excel format. We accomplish this by using the Excel mime type in our .asp pages. Sporadically, we are seeing "Unable to read file" errors in Excel 2010
    after choosing Open from the IE11 save dialog. Choosing Save/Save As and the file will open just fine.
    Also, we can sometimes cause the error to occur more frequently by switching windows during the time when the file is downloading.
    If the file is opened directly from /Temporary Internet Files then it opens just fine.
    Window 7 64-bit
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    I found you replied in a similar thread, did you try the workaround (Reset the IE) that provided there? Did you change a browser to test?
    Then, I suggest we use Process Monitor to do further troubleshooting. Please collect all the actions of IE.exe and Excel.exe, and check the if there are some
    error message/code during you open XLS file from IE 11.
    Hope it's helpful.

  • Cannot open survey files from email after upgrading SAP gui to 720

    Cannot open survey files attachments from email after upgrading SAP gui from 640  to 720.
    Tried uninstalling & reinstalling but still error persists,
    Error is : cannot split connection string: /h/server name/s/sapdp00 ( from SAP GUI security )
    Please advise.

    Can't say I have seen this error before but if it is pertaining to the new security module within 7.20, which are much more strict then 6.40, I would look under the SAP GUI configuration options.  Focus on Security > Security settings.
    There are pages and pages of rules which can be defined.
    A test could be to disable all of them on an isolated machine and set them to allow and see if your problem persists.  If the error is resolved, it is something in there you need to address.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 and cannot open Raw files from my Canon EOS 1000D camera.

    I am using Photoshop Elements 9 on a Windows 7 based PC and would like to know why I cannot open Raw files produced by my Canon EOS 1000D camera.
    I have checked the version of the plug in as 6.5 for raw files which is supposed to open .cr2 files and should be compatible according to Adobe site info.
    any ideas for next move.
    Mick

    Hi,
    According to all of Adobe's charts, the Canon 1000D should be supported by the basic PSE 9 even without updates. When you said you checked the camera raw version in PSE, did you do that by going to the Help menu and selecting About plugins -> Camera raw?
    The Canon 1200D requires ACR 8.4 which is only compatible with PSE 12 - so for PSE 10 your brother would need the DNG converter.
    I can't find a sample raw file to try (I do have PSE 9). If you want to upload a sample file to dropbox and give me access, I could try it on my system.
    Have you tried opening one of your files on your brothers system?

  • Cannot open NEF files from D200 in Camera Raw 4.1

    I am using Photoshop CS3 with Windows XP. I have downloaded the latest Camera Raw update (4.1) and installed as directed.
    I am able to open Raw files from Nikon D70 in camera raw but unable to open files from D200 - I am getting the message that it is an invalid file.
    When I revert back the the previous version of camera raw I can open these files with no problem.
    Can amyone advise please.
    Thanks
    J

    Janet,
    > I am not using Photoshop 6, where did you get that from?
    We are referring to Trevor in post #2, not you.
    As to your issue, just a general comment, as I don't do Windows:
    Even though it sounds too obvious, make sure you have properly uncompressed (unzipped) the downloaded ACR 4.1 and that you have installed it according to the instructions.
    >I have downloaded the latest Camera Raw update (4.1) and installed as directed.
    Note that you didn't say "unzipped", so forgive me for bringing it up.

  • Cannot open raw files from my Nikon D3200 in Elements 11

    After I found I could not open raw files from my new Nikon D3200 in Elements 10, and did a couple hours of searching the web site, I upgraded to Elements 11. Elements 11 also will not open the raw files from the D3200

    I found the solution in a Light Room forum.  The problem was I was using an older version of View NX2 to transfer the files. I uninstalled that version and installed the version supplied with the D3200. The files now load into Elements 11 with no problem. Apparently the old version affects the content of  the NEF files, as Elements was not able to recognize them, and gave an error message that the files were from an unsupported camera.
    Thanks for looking into this, Don Rieser  

  • Cannot open raw files from my D90

    I can't open raw files from my Nikon D90. I have one computer with elements 6 and another with 7 on it. I have installed Camera Raw 5.5 on elements 7 and reinstalled the program. Nothing helped. The files opened using the Nikon program provided with the D90. I also have a D80 and it works fine. I am out of ideas. Help Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I believe the files are not damaged.

    Here are the directions from the download page of ACR 5.5 for PSE:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4582
    At which step are you getting hung up?
    To install with Adobe Photoshop Elements:
    NOTE: You must follow all of the new instructions in order to successfully install the Camera Raw Plug-in for Photoshop Elements.
    1. Exit Photoshop Elements
    2. Open the download file and double-click CameraProfiles.exe and follow the on-screen instructions
    3. Open My Computer
    4. Double-click Local Disk (C:)
    5. Navigate to the location designated by your version of Photoshop Elements: (Please read directory carefully)
    a. Photoshop Elements 6.0: Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 6.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats
    b. Photoshop Elements 7.0: Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats
    6. Move the existing Camera Raw.8bi plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
    7. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw.8bi, from the download into the same folder as Step 5.
    8. Launch Photoshop Elements

  • Cannot open .jsp files from browser

    Hi!
    I cannot open .jsp files form the browser.(Some sample jsp files I downloaded open without any problem, only the ones I added, don't- they're in the same directory, with their java files in the web-inf folder.) I have jdk1.2.2,jswdk1.0.1,jsse1.0.1,jsdk2.1. Does the jswdk server support converting jsp to servlets? Also, what do I have to add to jdk classpath for my servlets to be invoked via jsdk? I am confused as to whether I on the jswdk server or the jsdk server for these files to work?
