Perhaps try the "Open and repair" option (in xl2003) on a copy of your file.
Sequence: File Save as .. (give it a back-up name) Close the file File Open Navigate to and select the "back-up" file in the "Open" dialog Click on the tiny dropdown to the right of "Open" button choose "Open and Repair.." Good luck -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Randaddyz" wrote: Hello I have been working with a spread sheet and I saved and closed it.

Sorry that didn't help. Other than hoping that you do have a fairly recent
back-up copy to recover it, I'm out of ideas. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |

Please help me... Thanks, Assuming you've exhausted the few options suggested in the Microsoft KB: I've run into many situations in the past that called for a 3rd party Office file recovery tool. I've had extremely good results with this approach and was able to justify the cost when "VIP's" and important projects were involved. Consider it... |

Hi,
I tried a third party recovery with no luck. We do have a backup but because our CFO was working from home and then brought it in our backup of this file is corrupt and looked at his home comp and samething. I guess he/we are SOL.
