Cannot open files!!
I have saved all my passwords and security related docs on Excel 2007 via an
external USB flash drive. After having to replace my internal HDD, I reinstalled Office 2007 in toto but now find the Excel files as above will no longer open!! I get the message that there is an "xlsx" error or a a incompatability etc. I have downloaded the MS Compatability Pack but there is nothing I can do to open this file!! Can someone point me in the right direction thanks as I desperately need the data! It doesn't matter much what format I recover it in just so long as I can read it! Thanks muchly |

Cannot open files!!
Always safest not to try to open Excel files on a USB flash drive. Copy the
files to your hard disk (and make sure than they are not read-only) and open there. If you copy the file onto another machine with Excel 2007 and try to open it there, that should tell you whether you've corrupted the file or not. -- David Biddulph "Hoock the Spook" wrote in message ...
