Error: You do not have permissions to access \\ PC name while trying to access and Excel file

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand that when you try to access an Excel file, you get an error. It would be great if you can help us with the details requested below to help you further with the issue:

• Does this issue occur while accessing any other file?
  
• Is the computer connected to a Domain/organizational network?
  
• Which build version of Windows are you using? To check type:
  winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
  Enter.
  

We would suggest you to try accessing the shared folder using the path and see if that helps. Follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type \\shared folder path and click on
   OK.
   

However, you may try providing permissions to the folder where the files are saved and see if you are able to access the files. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Navigate to the location on the PC through which the files are shared.
   
2. Right click on the folder and select Properties.
   
3. Click on Sharing tab, and click on
   Advanced Sharing.
   
4. Now, select the checkbox for Share this folder.
   
5. Click on Permissions, select the check box for
   Allow Full Control.
   
6. Click on OK (Twice).
   

Refer screenshot below:









If an IT Administrator manages the folder, then you may have to get in touch with the administrator to reset or grant permissions to access the file.



You may also refer the suggestions provided by Roohi_Taj replied on November 28, 2018 in the thread

You do not have permission to access \\PC_NAME contact your network administrator to request access.



Let us know the results.

Excel file

Hi zhiyang....,

I'm assuming that since you're using Excel 2011, that you have a Mac. Have you tried saving the file in the default 2011 format of XLSX?

While I have tested and can open both XLS and XLSX files on my Windows Phone, they were both created in PC versions of Excel 2000 and Excel 2010.

As a test, would you:

• First, try saving the file as XLSX and see if you can access the newer file format on your phone.

Otherwise, try the following as a test:

• Open up a web browser
• Go to Windows Live and login.
• Select "SkyDrive" at the top of the brwoser window
• Select the Excel icon near the top where it says "Create"
• Add a few numbers and do an AutoSum. Maybe add some formatting.
• Close the workbook (File -> Close workbook)
• Next, your SkyDrive file listing will appear with the new file.
• Click the "i" circle to the far right of the new file.
• Now, select "Send a link"
• Enter your e-mail information and click "Send"
• On your phone, open the e-mail and click on the button that says "View document"
• You should be able to view the document.
• If yes, then there is apparently a compatibilty issue on the Mac using XLS and I would try my first suggestion of trying to save the file in a different format like the newer XLSX.

By the way, the procedure gets easier in Windows Phone Mango (coming soon - no official release dates yet except in Japan) as you can save to and access files directly from your SkyDrive. That would eliminate the e-mailing it to yourself steps ... a lot easier!

I hope this helps!

Win 10 Excel

More stupidity from microsoft.

When opening excel, the displayed list does not give you access to the folders, forinstance, onedrive is not listed nor accessible form this location, how stupid is microsoft. Please give back access to files when trying to open an excel file stored on the
computer. If anyhting give us access to be able to select the files accessible, not the garbage microsoft thinks we need.

any help getting around this stupid program.
