try opening excel in safe mode and then opening your file.

either hold the shift key down immediately after clicking on your excel file or
create a shortcut to excel.exe and then add a /s to the end of the command line
that launches excel and then see if your workbook will open.
for example, the default location for office 2003:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\EXCEL.EXE" /s

If you just tried Safe mode, then try:

Hold down the shift key while you open the file. Keep holding it until the
file is open.

If this is a file you altered with a Hex editor, you may have screwed it up.
Go back and use the copy you made of it before using the Hex editor.

No no this is a different file and nothing to do with hex editor
haha . Thank you Tom. Even after holding shift key, the minute file
opens the program error props up and on clicking on it the excel
closes.

If it's only that one file...

Sometimes opening and saving in a different version of excel can help (sometimes
not).

If it is a corrupted workbook, you may want to try openoffice. Lots of people
have said that it's recovered workbooks that excel couldn't.

(http://www.openoffice.org, a 60-65 meg download or a CD)

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

As Dave Peterson suggests, you might try the Open Office application. It
might work for your file with the forgotten vba password as well.

DEAR GARY/TOM/DAVE
So pleasant to know that you all have been so generous and thanks a
zillion. This ship luckily i got gprs going from the cell and could
get my doubts and problems cleared in a jiffy. I will try thro the
openoffice but in the mean time I reworked from half saved file during
the building of the file and I am almost done. Once again thanks a
lot.
