Summary:

The third paragraph on page 254 of the “Microsoft Excel Functions and Macros” version 2.2 manual incorrectly states the following:

For example, if file_text is “:Data:Sales”, Microsoft Excel first looks for Sales on the the disk named Data.

“:Data:Sales” should read “Data:Sales” (without the colon before the word “Data”). With the colon inserted, Excel returns the error message “Can’t find ‘Sales’.”
