I had recently received a file done by a consultant, on the final version of the drawing I got the spread sheet gave me this message (see below) instead of opening in excel. The consultant had claimed that on their side it was opening just fine. After several failed attempts from them to fix it I had to have them send me the excel file and had to re-embed the sheet. At this point it worked for both of us.
I have had a lot of different embedded files and I think this was the first real issue I've had. I've seen simple spreadsheets, formula heavy spreadsheets, protected spreadsheets, photo's and once even a word document as embedded files.
Has anyone else gotten this message when attempting to open an embedded spread sheet?
We only allow the embedded objects to be used, they do not require an external file. The following link talks about the different ways the OLE works.

I've tired making a linked one just to see what happens when the file is not present. The error message I got from that was very different.

Not on an embedded spreadsheet but on a linked one. Couldn't work out why it was happening and had to copy+paste the selection in again for it to work!
