Hi Winekno!

Try:

File Open
Navigate to and select the file
Click on down pointing arrow on the open button
Select "Open and Repair"

It does a remarkable job of repairing or at least retriving as much as
it can of a corrupted file.

Most often though simply trying to open in Excel 2002 and 2003 will
succeed in opening a corrupted file.

If you have made a practice of working on the file from a floppy disc,
then this is the most likely cause of the corruption. Never work from
a floppy disc. Use Explorer to save to hard drive and work on that
copy and save to the hard drive. Then you can copy back to floppy.

Addl Question for Tom Oglivy:
When you say Excel has a repair facility, what does that mean and
how do I activiate it? Thanks.
