Ok now my problem is I am trying to open the file via Applescript. The 
dictionary says:
open workbook v : Opens a workbook.

Hence this appleScript:
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
        activate
        set the default file path to "Volumes/data/LogosAdmin/TechData/Tech 
Documents/"
        open workbook "DHCP Clients.xlsx"
        copy range range "B:E" of sheet "DHCP Clients.xls" of workbook "DHCP 
Clients.xlsx"
end tell

It stops at open workbook "DHCP Clients.xlsx":
error "Microsoft Excel got an error: \"DHCP Clients.xlsx\" doesn’t understand 
the open workbook message." number -1708 from "DHCP Clients.xlsx"


I feel like an ignorant putz, but shouldn't I be able to open a frickin 
workbook like this?? With Applescript I feel like if I type two spaces where it 
expected one the computer will shut down and never restart again just to punish 
me for being such an imbecile.
