Excel 2002/2003 has a repair facility. Try opening it in one of those
versions.

download the free OpenOffice/install it and use that to open it.

I created an Excel workbook and it has been fine until now. When I click
on it, Excel either attempts to read it and then quits. I tried to open
Excel first, then File Open, same thing happens. Any sugguestions?
