Override access

[smckey]

I've been getting the run around at work and am now resorting here to try to find an answer.

The issue is that my work profile was updated, therefore all of my other files were no longer accessible. I had one of our IT guys dump all my documents into my new profile, but now I can't open then, predom Excel spreadsheets. Every time I try to open them it says access denied, and I'm thinking it is because it was created under the old profile name. I am in desperate need of accessing these excel documents now that my old profile is no longer accessible. The docs are all on my desktop of my new profile, but just can't open them and I have tried everything I can think of. Any tips, advice, work arounds?

Thanks in advance

Sorry, but it seems to me we're bumping up against a MrExcel rule here -- see:

Wish we could help you out, but you'll just have to keep nagging the IT department -- better yet, have your boss do it,
