"Damage to the file was so extensive that repairs were not possible"
Good Afternoon,
I received a "Damage to the file was so extensive that repairs were not possible" error message when opening a workbook in Excel 2003 Article ID : 820712 had a workaround suggesting I use Excel 200 to access the file which worked but I was wondering if anyone has come across this error before and has a more permanent solution. Thank you all in advance for any assistance offered. |

The other option is to retrieve a recent backup version of the file. The
risk is that whatever happened to corrupt the file may already have occurred. Another approach may be to save the file as HTML, then reopen it. I'm not sure how faithful an HTML save is, however, and whether it saves intricate features like controls or conditional formatting. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "AccessGuy" wrote in message ...

Maybe you can try a popular Excel file recovery tool called Advanced Excel Repair to repair your Excel file. It is a powerful tool to repair corrupt or damaged Excel files.
