an .xlw is a workspace file, it stores information about a group of
workbooks, and their state (visible, tiled etc).
You need the .xls files that the .xlw refers to, in the same relative
location to do anything useful

Hi all,

I am using Excel 2007 and when opening a file that was emailed to me with an
.xlw extension nothing happens. I click on it and nothing. No errors, excel
does open, but thats it.

Please help I cannot see to find any answers to this anywhere, thanks.

Hal.
