Copying file from XP to Vista computer
I have 3 computers on a home network. 2 are XP and one is Vista. I have
figured out how to access other computers on the network. But I am having trouble accessing an Excel file which is on an XP computer, from my Vista computer. I have tried to do 2 things. From the Vista computer, I opened Excel, selected "Open File," went through the network and found the file in My Documents on the old XP computer. When I selected the file to be opened and tried to open it, the computer told me that I needed permission from the file owner or administrator. I also tried to copy the file through the network, and then paste it into my documents folder on Vista computer, but a similar message showed up. How can I fix this? Thanks!!!
