i am unable to open 6 specific Excel sheets. every other workshheet opens just fine but saturday morning i kept getting errors. now i can open #29 Prussia but it isnt up to date and i cannot add info that is saved. For some reason in bnook #29 the inforation goes back to the input on Jul;y 2025 or 2026.

Now that i fixed the 'Cache" issues its stating i dont own the specific 6 sheets. if my memory is accurate ithey are:

Book#29 - #30 - #31 - #32 - #33 - #34

    Hello brian white

    To narrow this down, are Books #29 through #34 stored in OneDrive, on the computer, or in a folder shared with you by another person? Also, what is the exact wording of the message saying that you do not own them?

    If they are stored in OneDrive, please sign in at OneDrive.com using the account that originally created or received access to the files. Check whether the six workbooks appear there and whether Version history is available. For Book #29, review the available versions and open the newest correct version before restoring anything.

    Please do not save over the outdated copy yet, as doing so could make recovery more difficult. If the online files are missing or your account no longer has permission, the file owner may need to share them with you again.

    Let me know where the files are stored and provide the exact error message, with any personal information removed, so I can advise you more precisely.

    I hope to hear update from you soon.
