When trying to open a file created with excel 2002, I get the error message "
Excel was able to open the file by repairing or removing the unreadable content

This workbook has lost its VBA project, ActiveX controls and any other programmability-related features."

The issue is that this file opens perfectly with the same office 2007 on a different computer. Both are running XP Pro.

Can anyone give me any suggestions to fix this issue?

Thanks in anticipation

Format cells as currency
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+4 to format cells as currency. (Shift 4 is the $ sign).
OK I have solved the problem.

I only had Excel installed so after installing the whole office suite it works fine.
