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.
