Thanks Jim. I figured it out in the mean time it was looking for a macro.
If this is happening with every file you try to open, you may have installed an add-in or possibly a virus that is looking for a particular file. If this is a problem with one specific file, this file has a Macro in it that is looking for a particular file.
PS I also see the above box when I quit. and trying to safe a document I get this box.
