Can't open file

[Matty2470]

I made an Excel file in Excel 2000 , I then edited it in Excel 97 - I now cannot open it in Excel 2000

Is this a compatibility issue between the two versions that I can easily solve.

The file is large - almost 1mb, but htat should be the propblem should it?

What can I do...

Thanks Mathew

IS there any error message that comes up when you try to open the file in XL2000?

 

[Matty2470]

no, it just freezes...and stops responding

Matty: Many files that cannot be opened by 97 or 2000 CAN be opened by Excel XP and recovered. I will give it a shot for you if you don't have XP available by any other means.
