Jim,
I believe it's not Excel97 problem. As far as I can remember in Excel97 (win9x,win2k) I was opening the workbooks same way. I've clients still using Excel97 on different platforms.
Sounds like the answer is hidden in ellipsis. Is it a fullpath to a file that user have necessary rights to open ?
And could user open it manually from Excel w/o any error ? (some linked objects for example were a cause to fail)
