I support Excel 2010 users on Windows 7 who share data via xls files and VBA. They sometimes get the message:
xxx.xls cannot be accessed. The file may be corrupted, located on a server that is not responding, or read-only
Once this happens, the session must be closed as Excel 2010 will not open any file in the whole directory. Even if they try using the GUI, they get the same error opening an xls that they could open earlier. Furthermore, they get a protected view error when they try to open a xlsm file. If they start a new Excel session, they can open all files again until it happens again which can be days later.
In the event log, I see
<Data>100101</Data>
<Data>14.0.7015.1000</Data>
<Data>xqgg</Data>
I cannot reproduce this error and would appreciate ideas on its cause.
