Excel download opens with error message

Hello,

I get an error message after I try to open an excel file that I have downloaded to my desktop. When I try to open it and I get this error,

" ..... file cannot be accessed. 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."

The permission on the excel file is set to 777 (read, write, and execute). I have downloaded a notepad file from the same folder as the excel file, it opens without a problem. I can also download other excel files in that folder too.

Please HELP!

Assuming that the file is not corrupted; try using either Binary or Ascii mode.

The toolbar icons are ASC = Ascii, 010 = Binary, or A10 = auto

If you are using Ascii then try Binary and vice versa.

Hello,

I tried that already and it didn't work ... . Do you have any other suggestions? It worked one day and then the next it stopped.

Thanks,
