I want to open a file that has been disabled

[Charlotte1974]

"This error may appear if you attempt to open a file marked as damaged or disabled by a Microsoft Office program. Each time the file is opened, even if the file was recovered or repaired, this error appears and other open files or programs will be suspended.
The file is in the Disabled Items list because, in previous attempts to open the file, it has caused a program error or shut down more than once.
If the file was properly recovered, replaced, or deleted, you can remove the file from the list of disabled files (re-enable the file) by clicking the File tab, clicking Options, and then clicking Add-Ins. In the Manage list, click the arrow and select Disabled Items, click Go, and then select the disabled item that you want to re-enable.
Re-enabling a file does not guarantee the application can open it. The file must be recovered from either a backup or undamaged recovered file.

I am sorry you are stuck.

The situation is pretty much explained by the text you included in your message.

You did not mention the file type - I would guess it is, in fact, an Office file (Word, Excel, etc).

Regardless,

If you have a copy of the file - that is, a backup of the file that was made before it was damaged, this is the time to retrieve the file from your backups.

You might be able to find out more about any possible options.

What else?

Not sure.

I'd consider searching the 'net to see if anyone has managed to find a solution (other than retrieving the file from a backup).
