Under Office 2000, all files exceeding 12 MB are opened without any problems.
After upgrading it to Office 2003/Excel 2003, similar files can't be opened
normally. However, even if I can, all the formulae and formats are lost
which cannot be recovered any longer. Is there any settings I should do
before the files can be retrieved again?


Your problem is not a fault with Excel as such, I often use files up to 90MB
without problems.

Might I suggest that you consider reinstalling Excel if you are REALLY sure
that you can't open
anything over 12MB.

Have you tried opening someone elses files just to see what happens to them.
