The filetype has not changed from xl97. xl97, xl2000, xl2002, xl2003 all
have the same filetype.

to the OP.

Do you have any worksheets with the zoom level set to other than 100%.
Particularly pages that have alot of objects on the sheets such as activeX
controls, and charts.

Do you have a lot of charts in the workbook?

I have a workbook created on Excel XP2002 which will not open in 97.
The
workbook is approx 4.2mb but that is not the problem as I have larger
workbooks that open fine. When I try and launch it I just get not
enough
memory!

Any Ideas?
