Then I thought I might as well see how loose the outside handle is. So I unlocked it and pulled on the handle and the door opened!!! It opens from the inside now....its like the problem was never there!
All I know is i'm happy I don't have to pay anything to get it fixed. I wonder what happened there. When I banged on the door from the inside it must have done something.
Thanks for the help dandruff!

I just had the same problem on 2/06/08. The car was parked on drive way for around 4 weeks, no extreme cold weather.
Then when I drove the car, the passenger front door would not open from inside or outside, there was no resistance in the handles.
Luckily I came across this thread, and bashed the inside of the door trim with my fist, it was painful, near the door hand area. I punched it about 10 times, slightly moving randomly. Then I carefully bashed the outside of the door around the door handle area, careful not to bash to hard or you will end up with dents.
Then I started the car and put the window up and down a few times.
Bingo ! I could now open the door from the inside and outside, no problems.
I think the banging, and operating the window must have unjamed the mechanism somewhere. Thanks for the tip, it saved me the garage repair bill.
