SYMPTOMS
When you start Works, you receive the following error message:

Cannot access the document

After you click OK, the following error message is displayed:

Cannot load all of the documents for this workspace.



CAUSE
These error messages occur if a file that is part of a saved workspace has been deleted, renamed, moved to another directory, or already opened.



RESOLUTION
The Works saved workspace feature allows you to open frequently used files quickly. Just open a document once, save your workspace, and then that document is opened automatically every time you start Works.

However, this may cause the error message if a file used in the workspace is later moved or deleted.

There are two ways to prevent the error message from appearing every time you start Works. You can rebuild the saved workspace, clear the saved workspace, or turn off the saved workspace feature.

Method 1: Rebuilding a Saved Workspace

 * 1) Open the files you want included in the saved workspace.
 * 2) On the Tools menu, click Options.
 * 3) Click the View tab.
 * 4) Click Save Workspace, and make sure the Use Saved Workspace At Startup option is checked.
 * 5) Click OK.

Method 2: Turning off a Saved Workspace

 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Options.
 * 2) Click the View tab.
 * 3) Clear the Use Saved Workspace At Startup check box.
 * 4) Click OK.
