Oh, no! I got the exact same message today in a file that was working fine
on Friday. I was hoping there was a better answer out there. Is there is a
way to copy the data from a workbook into another without copying the
corruption?

The only time I've personally seen this message the workbook was corrupted
and beyond repair. Had to go to a backup copy.
