Hi,
I'm a a co-worker sending me spreadsheets that are created in alother
program and saved asExcelfiles. I have no problem opening these in MSExcel2003 or 2007, but I do get a message that says the file is in a
different format than specified by the file extension but it opens fine.

When I tyr to open these in MSExcelViewer, it tells me the file iscorrupt. I don't need the full version ofExcelwith me on my notebook and
was hoping to just use the viewer. Is there a program from MS that can check
and correct theseExcelfiles, like a recovery program, so I can use these
with viewer? Thanks.

Hi,

I think you can try a utility called Advanced Excel Repair to repair
your Excel xls file. It works rather well for my corrupt Excel xls
files. Its web address is http://www.datanumen.com/aer/
