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.

Hope this helps,

  That file is probably corrupt.

              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

    Can you open Excel by itself, without opening that file?
