Windows XP will not open any Excel file, no matter how much your machine
sings and dances. You will need to either have a copy of Excel on your machine in order to be able to work with it, or use the free Excel viewer to just look at it. Alternatively, you may be able to edit it with the free download OpenOffice from www.openoffice.org depending on what functions/code have been used in the file. -- Regards Ken.......................

And the first question to ask is "Is Excel loaded on your PC?"
