Issue/Introduction

Error, "Failed to open document" when opening files

Environment

Windows operating systems only.

Resolution

If the older files were copied from one location to another, delete the corrupted files and then copy the files again.  It may be best copy all files to a folder and then zip up the folder.  Then just copy the zipped folder.
 

Note:    If the source files are corrupt, copying them again will not resolve the issue.
