I received an error "PowerPoint can't open C:\... because part of the file is
missing.

I've tried to use the repair file but it is looking for the file
ZF561407.CAB which is not there.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Is the file you are trying to open on a floppy drive?

No it's not. It is on my C: drive, Desktop to be exact.

Oh, BTW, others in my office can open the file with no problem. They  have
Power Point 2002 and I have 2003.

Yes, and it seems to work. Thanks "tohlz" and Sonia for your responses.

Are there other "Critical Updates" I should be aware of?

You might want to download those critical updates to fix any possible
exploits and bugs.
