  • The following are several possible reasons:
    • The file name or path name does not exist.
    • The file you are attempting to open is being used by another program. Close the document in the other program and attempt again.
    • The name of the workbook you are attempting to save is the same as the name of another document that is read-only. Attempt saving the workbook with a different name.
