In addition to what Susan said, I don't see any reference to the NTFS security, on the share permissions. Go through the Security settings carefully, and watch out for "inherited", "ownership" and "apply to folders and files in this folder" settings.
You may have to take ownership as the domain admin, then add the appropriate groups to the share.
Strange that "they" could copy, but that "they" could not open. Same "they"?

This Client had a simple Peer-to-Peer network with 5 WinXP Pro computers.
The secretary had a folder on her C:\ drive called RDF1, which was shared to
everyone on the network. It contained all of their Office documents including
.doc, .xls, .pub, .pdf, .jpg, etc. After I finished setting up the new
Server, and had all of the clients connected to the Domain, I just did a Cut
& Paste of that folder to my USB stick drive, then to the D:\ drive on the
Server. Lastly I did Sharing & Security/Share/Permissions/Added selected
Users/Gave them Full Permissions/Removed the Everyone Account.
I also tried creating a new Folder on the Server D:\ drive, Shared it, and
copied a few files there..they will not open either?
No matter what, when I go to the Client pc, the Office documents will not
open. For now, they have just copied the xls & doc files they need to her
Client Desktop, which open fine there? (as always, PDF/JPG, etc open up fine?)
ps: On a previous server install for another client, I first shared his D:\
drive completely, copied files to new folders, and have never had an issue?
Could it be that the whole drive must be shared?

Do not try to micro manage permissions in a folder tree. This will drive
you crazy. Keep each user and group permissions on a top level folder, and
do not change them to different users / groups in sub folders.
Second, you did not say anything about "migration" in your initial post.
What sort of migration did you do?
