I believe that what happened is that one of the last files that you saved was to a:\. I fixed it on my machine by sticking in a floppy disk and then saving the file to c:\. and then exited. When I went back in, it searched c:\ for the file that I wanted open. This was with Word and would probably work with Excel, I don't know about WordPerfect. I did use a program a long time ago that this didn't work for, but I can't remember what it was. Oh well, that doesn't matter then. Good luck. Mike
