Shouldn't be a date issue... did you open the file the way you normally do ?
Something has changed here... bad shut down with this file opened... maybe.
Open Excel and pull down the File Menu and see if there are more than copy or version of your spreadsheet. Look at all...
File could have corrupted the Font or could be a Virus. Try just changing the font in one cell.
If this is your only copy of the file... make a copy to see if it works on another machine... that will isolate the problem... it may just be corrupt... the fix is Excel healing it on it's own when it opens.

I have Calandar Creator 10 and have created a family calandar which I use from year to year that includes birthday events, holidays etc. and phases of the moon. This year, when I went from Dec. 2010 to...

Calendar Creator 10 has the four moon phases from Jan 1990 thru Dec 2010. To extend past 2010:
- File Open Collection ' Local Disk(c:)'Program Files'Calendar Creator' Template'Events'Phases of the Moon.bcc
-For each of the four events (First Quarter, Full Moon, Last Quarter, and New Moon) change the Repeat Until date past 12/31/2010 to 12/31 of the year you will add data for
-For each of the four events, click Advanced Repeat Rule you can selete the drop down under Exceptions / Pick exception and there you can see the dates by month and year from Jan 1990 thru Dec 2010 for the event. You need to extend this list. First obtain the moon phases from some web site like www.timeanddate.com/calendar. (note that this site calculates the mone phases base on New York time). The simply select each of the dates for the event you are modifying by clicking that date on the calendar in the upper right hand of the screen. Just advance the calendar thru the months and years you want to enter data for. You can check the list when finished by selection the ExceptionS Pick exception drop down box.
- Save your changes by clicking OK and Ok again. Make changes for all for events.
- Select File and Save Collection
- You need to replace the Phases of the moon events in your calendar by removing the old events and importing the new events. To remove the old Phases of the moon in your calendar, select Events'Categories highlight Phases of the moon and delete. Then add back the changed events by File'Import Events and browse for the Phases of the moon.bcc file you changed.
I hope this gets you what you need.

Formula for Calculating the turn around time in excel

dpprash,

I guess you mean the number of weekdays (or working days) excluding Saturdays and Sundays. So start a spreadshhet and put the start date (01/01/2009) in A2 and the end date (31/12/2009?) in B2.

Then paste the formula below into C2:

=B2-A2-2*INT((B2-A2+WEEKDAY(A2,3))/7)-MAX(0,WEEKDAY(B2,3)-4

When I try to open a Word or Excel document I get a message saying "file not available." I can create a new document and then save it, but can't open it up again. Everything was working fine...

Some things to try. XP service pack 3 came out and it and some OS patches could cause conflicts with older Anti-Virus programs. Below is a link to Microsoft's KB

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/835404/

So try sending a newly created office file to another PC to see if it can open up on it.

In Word/Excel under the help menu there is a detect/repair option.

Try disabling your AV program to see what happens.
