Excel Viewer 2003 Problem
Hi,
I'm a a co-worker sending me spreadsheets that are created in alother program and saved as Excel files. I have no problem opening these in MS Excel 2003 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 MS Excel Viewer, it tells me the file is corrupt. I don't need the full version of Excel with me on my notebook and was hoping to just use the viewer. Is there a program from MS that can check and correct these Excel files, like a recovery program, so I can use these with viewer? Thanks. Regards-Michael G. |

Gordon,
I'm not sure, it may be a proprietary estimating program. We don't work for the same company but are working on the same project. Regards-Michael G. "Gordon" wrote in message ...

Michael G,
Are you using the latest Excel viewer version?... http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en However, as that is a 76,000 kb download, I would think that installing a version of Excel might be a better option. -- Jim Cone Portland, Oregon USA http://www.realezsites.com/bus/primitivesoftware (Excel Add-ins / Excel Programming) "Michael Gerbasio" wrote in message Hi, I'm a a co-worker sending me spreadsheets that are created in alother program and saved as Excel files.

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.
