Hi All, I'm having difficulty opening microsoft office files in this case Excel on a Sharepoint 2007 site when using IE 6. Here are the errors I get: Excel: Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'https://<var>server_name</var> SPSsite/documents/<var>file_name</var> .xls'. There are several possible reasons: The file name or path does not exist. The file being used by another program. The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook. Here are some additional details: OS = VistaIE = Version 6Please help me :)thanks!

I know its a old thread. But I'm experiencing the same problems here. Sharepoint 2010, Excel 2007 and Project 2010. The hotfix didn't work thanks

Yes, I have the same problems too with Sharepoint 2010 and Office 2007. Not all users have the issue, but it's more than a few. How can I trouble shoot?
