Unable to open file into SPSS for Windows from MS Excel or MS Word.

Troubleshooting

Problem

Sometimes I get an error message in SPSS that says "A sharing violation has occurred while accessing " whenever I try to read a file from another application, such as MS Excel, or I get a message that says "Error 1216: A file cannot be opened. Probable causes are an attempt to open a read-only file for output, a directory which is too full, an invalid file specification, the specification of a nonexistent disk, etc. This command not executed." When I try to open the file from MS Word. Why can't I read my data?
