Default Problem with opening an Excel 2000 workbook in Excel 2003

I have successfully converted an Excel 2002 workbook with autoshapes, forms and macros to Excel 2000 (by removing some command options not available in VBA 2000)

Unfortunately, the application doesn't work at all in Excel 2003, returning several "File error: data may have been lost" when I try to open the workbook - even when the macros are disabled

The workbook sheet includes some autoshapes grouped together, but they are not present when the workbook is opened after the error messages

The Excel 2000 workbook is available at http://www.npr.no/privspes/Les_inn_NPR-rapport.zip (the VBA project password is "sikkerhet")

Where can I find information on compatibility problems between the Excel 2000/2002 and Excel 2003

Thanks for any suggestions on how to convert the Excel 2000 workbook including autoshapes, forms and macros
