did you try opening the interior doorhandle, see if the latch popped out or somethingits held on by a piece of colored plastic.

Hmm... with the door closed can you take off the inside trim? I guess you'd have to figure out a way to do it, something must have slipped on the inside. I'm assuming you've tried both the inside and outside door handle?

Else, have you ever watched The Dukes of Hazzard? You could just use the window... (joking)

if you open up the interior door handle,,, youll see thin metal bars... they should be hooked on to the back of the doorhandle by a plastic clip (usually colored) that holds it steady.

Take a look at that rod, pull on int, take a look at what it connects to, pull on that, etc. The inside of a door isn't complicated.

i really dont know what to tell you,,,

power door locks work?
keys turn it open/close?
door handles your not too sure about right?
both doors are stuck the same way??

if your not sure about how the door lock looks, try going to http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/ they give a black/white diagram of what you are looking at...

its only one door.
the power locks work fine.
the thin things that are attached at the door handles work fine. i took a look at the other door to see how it works and both door locks work the same. but the drivers door won't open.
i am hating my car so much right now.

Sounds like your latch is f-ed up. Someone had a how-to posted a while back on drilling the latch to get the door open.
