Amy,
See your other post. Are you sure you are using Excel 2007 to try and open that file or have you opened a different version of Excel? Do you only have the one version installed?

can't open .xlsx file in excel 2007
In Excel 2003 that sort of error message is what you get if you open an
Excel document in something like Word, and then save it from Word with an Excel file extension. I would suggest that you open the file (or preferable a copy of the file) in Notepad and see what the format looks like compared with an xlsx file which does work. -- David Biddulph "Amy Lim" wrote in message ...
