Hello,

I have Excel 2000 (9.0.2720).

There is a financial file that's VERY important to me that
I use/update all the time. It is password protected.

Last evening, I tried to open it up and rec'd the
message "EXCEL.EXE has generated errors and will be closed
by Windows. You will need to restart program. An error log
is being created"

Tried to open file several times and same message. It lets
me enter my password then gives me the message.

PLEASE HELP!! Losing that file would be painful

Rob @ 703-622-6556

Use the current backup you have

or

Find someone with xl2002 or later and see if they can get it open with the
repair facility

or

download open office (free 80 MB download) and see if it can open the file.

If openoffice doesn't help:

If the file is really important, there are commercial recovery services. I've
never used it, but you might want to check into:
http://www.officerecovery.com

And a link:

Try 'www.fdrlab.com' (http://www.fdrlab.com/repair.html)
They can recover corrupted Excel files (incuding password protected
with all contained information, including comments, VBA, charts, link
etc.
No one software can do this completely.

Good Luck
