SUMMARY
In Microsoft Excel version 2.20, when you open a file from a volume (floppy disk, hard drive, etc.) that has the same name as the start-up volume for the Macintosh, the error message &quot;Can't find &quot; will be displayed.

When you save a document using the Save As command on the File menu to a volume that has the same name as the start-up volume for the Macintosh, the file will be incorrectly saved to the start-up volume. If the file has already been saved to the start-up volume, saving the document to a floppy with the same name as the start-up volume will replace the file on the start-up volume without giving the &quot;Replace existing ?&quot; warning.

To correctly save or open a file, either specify a unique name for one of the volumes, or copy the document to the start-up volume.
