Default Damage to .xls file upon data load


When opening a file I am prompted to "Enable Macros" twice, and upon
clicking "Enable" for the second time I am told the file is damaged and
cannot be repaired. Has anyone run into this issue before?

For some background I am populating the file with data pulled from my
database using ExtenXLS.

I don't know ExtenXLS, but...

Lots of people have praised OpenOffice.org for saving their data and code.
http://www.openoffice.org, a 60-65 meg download or a CD

There are commercial recovery services. I've never used it, but you might want
to check into:
http://www.officerecovery.com

And sometimes newer versions of excel can open files that older versions can't.
(And sometimes just different versions may work, too!)
