Default Publisher cannot open the file

I upgraded Office Small Business Professional 2000 to SBP 2003. Now I cannot
open files created in Publisher 2000. Please help - would have never
bothered to upgrade had I known this was coming!

Thanks

Are you running Norton Antivirus by chance?

I was running Norton Internet Security Professional 2004 when I created the
files; am running McAfee on computer I tried to open them on after upgrading
to SBP 2003

Norton does some really strange things to systems. It can be a bugger to get
rid of. What error message are you getting?

(And by the way - you either have Office Pro or you have Office Small
Business. There is no such thing as Small Business Professional.)

What is AVG? We aren't all experts in THIS topic. That's why we are asking
for help.

You are correct-it is MS Office Small Business Edition 2003. The error
message is: "Publisher cannot open the file."

Would it be able to open the file if I turned off security/virus programs -
or is this a bugaboo that occurs when the file is created and they are turned
on?

It's an antivirus program. I use the free version and love it.

For grins and giggles, send the file to me. Let's find out if the file is
okay. Send it to jl dot paules at gmail dot com.
