Hi
does this happen with all files or only a single one. If the latter: sounds
like a corrupted file for me

Ok - Im going crazy with this one.

When I open an Excel 2000 file in my Windows XP (sp2) Excel 2003 I
get the following....

"Microsoft Office Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience" which then generally butchers
the file (sometimes does almost ok in trying to "repair" it). I have
tried this on two separate computers with Excel 2003 - same results.
NOTE: Excel 2000 opens it perfectly on third pc.

I have virus scanned, ad-awared, uninstalled Excel 2003 and
reinstalled. No luck. Sample file is available at
http://step.polymtl.ca/~ritz/charsheet/cs.htm then click download.

Suggestions??
