Recover modules and forms from a damaged spreadsheet.
One of my spreadsheet got corrupted today. I don't know why.
So much corrupted that Excel had to "Repair" it when I tried to re-open the file. Unfortunately I have made several changes to my VBA code between and I just "Save" the file. I know! I should have done a "Save as". When Excel "Repairs" a file, it looks at spreadsheet data only. So I have lost all my VBA code. Is there a way to recover the VBA code as well? My only alternative for now is to restore the file from yesterday's backup and redo my VBA code. René |

Recover modules and forms from a damaged spreadsheet.
You may want to try OpenOffice.org and try opening, then saving (as a new
name). It's been known to save some (not always all) data, formatting, formulas and code. 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: http://www.officerecovery.com Pred wrote: One of my spreadsheet got corrupted today. I don't know why.

I'll have a look at OpenOffice.org.
Thanks Dave. By the way, my file got restored and it took me about 45 minutes to redo my today's work. Less painfulf than I thought!
