I purchased PowerPivot For The Data Analyst and downloaded the associated example files. When I try to import the demo file I get the following message:

An error occurred while loading the file. More Details:Failed to connect to the server. Reason: No error message available, result code: E_UNEXPECTED(0x8000FFFF).

I am not sure about a reference to a server since the data is resident on my hard drive. I assume it has something to do with the browsing file path and name but am not sure how to change it.
