Error in opening excel file

[Zaigham]

Hi
While trying to open a Excel 2003 workbook, error message "file is read-only, or the location read-only, or server not responding" is displayed. Whereas other files in the same folders are accessible. Is there any way to recover my huge data about 15000 records.

If you can actually read it, then save it off elsewhere under a new name. You could also try just copying the file to another location outside of excel with explorer

Thanks for comments. I have tried all above but no fruitful result was found. Fortunately with the help of following link's "5th Method" I have recovered my data.
