I saved an excel 07 file that contained 300 kb of data yet, when tried to
re-open get a message saying the file is corrupt or I have the wrong file extension. When I look at the files properties it now says 0 bytes!? Any ideas!? Andy |

Perhaps you want to check the hard drive for errors. Sounds like the
file didn't really save like you thought it did. andy wrote: I saved an excel 07 file that contained 300 kb of data yet, when tried to re-open get a message saying the file is corrupt or I have the wrong file extension. When I look at the files properties it now says 0 bytes!? Any ideas!? Andy |

Saved the file to a remote share drive, so maybe the answer lies there?

Yes I would check that drive. It sounds like the data was not really saved.

The file is empty and your utility can recover it?
That's darn amazing or just plain wrong.

We will wait eagerly for the OP to report that Alan's utility has done the
trick. :-) Interesting that for an Excel 07 file, Alan recommends using a product for which the web page says: "Advanced Excel Repair supports to repair xls and xlw files in Excel version 3, 4, 5, 95, 97, 2000, XP, 2003 formats. " but I suppose if the file is empty it doesn't matter which version it started as? Can anyone remind me how often the group has seen ringing endorsements of Alan's product from satisfied customers, rather than from the salesman? -- David Biddulph "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...
