What version Excel have you got? If not 2002 or 2003 then by all means send
me the file and I'll have a go for you. If it's too badly corrupted though
then you may be out of luck. Need to take the NOSPAM out of my email addy.

I have an Excel workbook that has been corrupted.
One day I tried to open the file and I receive the message "unable to open
file"
I had built some complex formulas into this sheet and would like to
recover
the syntax.
If I can recover the actual formula in one row of the spreadsheet I can
recreate the file rather easily.

I found some information on recovery he
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...346561033.aspx

"Open & Recover" has not worked.
I have been successful in using external references to link to the
corrupted
file but I can only retreive the Value returned by the formula in the
cell.
Does anyone have an idea on how to retreive the formula contained within
the
cell?

Much appreciated!
