I'm guessing you have an entry in your recent document list that was on the floppy. Perhaps you can clear that list , or open a number of different documents sufficient to push it off the bottom of the

Thanks for suggestion, John. Unfortunately it did not help. First I checked and verified that there were no recent documents accessed via the floppy drive. Then I changed my settings so that no "recently opened documents" were displayed. Then I closed Word and tried again.
But the floppy is still hit everytime I open a Microsoft file. ;o(
I too had this problem with my CD drives as well. I ended up re-installing CXO and the problem went away. I couldn't figure out what was causing it.

What about Tools/Options/File Locations. Anything in there pointing to the floppy?

Ken and Greg, Thanks for suggestions. I uninstalled and then reinstalled CX office. Still the same problem. Interestingly, throughout the install process the floppy was constantly hit. I don't recall if that happened in prior installations, but the significant number of times the floppy was hit during this install really surprised me. I checked tools/options/file locations but don't see anything that indicates the floppy. My documents go to Y:\work (which is where I keep all Word, PPT, and Excel files). Of the other file types that are assigned, they're all pointing to C:\ If something is pointing to the floppy then I don't see it (or don't know how to read it with CX Office. My assumption would be that something pointing to the floppy would say A:\ ...) Thanks. Still looking for a solution. Gil
