SUMMARY

When you open a Microsoft Excel version 7.0 file in Microsoft Windows NT you may receive the following error message:

   There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into
   drive <drive letter>

where <drive letter> is a logical CD-ROM drive. If you click Retry or Ignore several times the workbook will eventually open.

CAUSE

This error message is caused by a reference to a file or library that is no longer valid.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, either have a CD-ROM in the drive or remove the references to the missing workbooks. To remove the references, do the following:

1. Select a Visual Basic module sheet.

2. On the Tools menu, click References.

3. Click to clear any references that have the word "MISSING:" before the

   name of the reference, for example:

      MISSING: Summary.xls
