Error 2052 when opening an Excel file in SPSS

Troubleshooting


Problem

I have an Excel file that I want to import into SPSS, but I get a pop-up window with a message that says: (2052) Error accessing the Excel file. The file may be open by another application. If so, close it and retry. What does this error message mean?
