hi
lotus 2.4
i think (if memory serves me correct) that is a WK4 format.
WK4 was supported by excel intill 2007. so i suspect that you have 2007 AND
microsoft has quit supporting lotus altogeather since 2007.
work around.....find someone who still has excel 03 or earlier. open and
save as a .xls file. 2007 can open those. if you know someone who has lotus
2k, open and save as a .xls. (lotus 2k will save a file in excel format
faster that excel can save a excel file in excel format. impressive.)
you may wish to do a google on lotus files to excel files converter. i am
sure there are a number of packages out there. some may want money so that
would depend on your degree of desperation.
wish i could help more but since microsoft, in it's monolithic glory, has
decided not to support lotus anymore, individuals like yourself have been
left high and dry.

Good luck
regards
