stream read error
I have a small excel file (200k) which worked fine until i changed the file name (I cannot remember the original name as it was just letters and numbers which was the reason for changing the name!). Now it will not open and upon trying several Excel recovery programs some of them told me it was a stream read error' and the recovery failed. Any advice or is this file a write off? -- bembaman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bembaman's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=29865 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=495696 |

Jacob, Thanks, good idea. Unfortunately it did not work. -- bembaman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bembaman's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=29865 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=495696 |
stream read error
b,
If the file is on floppy or cd, copy the file to your hard drive and then try opening it. I would also try renaming to something different and see if it opens. The "Open Office" application can sometimes open files that Excel won't. It is free but a very large download... http://www.openoffice.org/ Jim Cone San Francisco, USA http://www.realezsites.com/bus/primitivesoftware "bembaman" wrote in message I have a small excel file (200k) which worked fine until i changed the file name (I cannot remember the original name as it was just letters and numbers which was the reason for changing the name!).
