You could try opening the file with another application.. For example sometimes I come across word files that will not open but if you open them with Word Pad or notepad they open. You lose the formatting but get the data. If you have access to Lotus that would be worth a try. Also is you have Microsoft Access try to import the data.

Try this: Open Excel then goto Data / Import external data / Import Data Browse to where that file is and try to import the data from 1 file to another, maybe you can retrieve all the "good" stuff. It's worth a shot -----Original Message----- From: bobo sy [mailto:bobosy@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2003 2:39 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: excel prb http://www.MSExchange.org/ Yes. and I can open all others file fr opening excel.
