SYMPTOMS
If you download and install the File Conversion Wizard (FILECONV.XLA) in
Microsoft Excel 5.x, and you attempt to open files saved on a server, you
may receive the following error message:
This file is password protected. Enter the Password.
This error message may occur for every file saved on the server even though
the files are not protected.
WORKAROUND
Either copy the files locally or run the File Conversion Wizard on a system
running Microsoft Excel for Windows 95, which correctly converts files
saved on a server.
Alternatively, if you are only attempting to batch convert Lotus files to
Microsoft Excel, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
