[windows2000] OT: Excel 2000 Workbook not Opening

I have a user running Office 2000 on Windows 2000 with an important spreadsheet 
that they (or I) can't open.  

It they double-click on it from Explorer, Excel is opened but the workbook 
doesn't open.  (just the grey screen, as if Excel has been launched on its 
own).  No error message. 
If they launch Excel, then File -> Open the spreadsheet.   It returns to Excel 
without opening it.  Again no error message.

All other spreadsheets open fine, so it is clearly a problem with the 
spreadsheet, backed up by the fact with same results opening spreadsheet from 
other PC's.

I have done a search on Microsoft and Google, but have not found anything 
helpful.

There is no available backups of this file, and user needs access to this 
spreadsheet.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

        Steve
