Sorry that I'm reposting the question below. I thought I should quote the entire error message. I'm desperate for a solution, right now I'm just waiting in case someone has a suggestion which may lead to a solution. The error message is "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
 
Thanks

Subject: [DevAccess] OPENING SELF EXTRACTING FILES

Hi Friends
 
Can you please help me? I frequently receive zipped databases from our satellite branches spread across the country. The databases are zipped using WinRar and are self-extracting. Of late when I just open the "exe" file I receive an error that Windows cannot access the file, etc, etc. Well, since I have WinRar installed on my pc I simply right-click on the file and select Extract. Now the problem is I've sent a file to someone on whose pc there is no WinRar and she is experiencing the same problem: Windows cannot access the file... Is there any solution? I'm completely stuck. I've tried WinZip without any success. This may not be the appropriate group but please help me nevertheless if you can. The operating system is Windows XP.
 
Thanks in advance
