Hi,
I have a large file that I have been working on at work in Excel 2007 running on XP and for some reason it will no longer open. I think I may have hit something on the keyboard but I have no idea what.
It was working fine this morning and yesterday, but earlier this morning the screen went blue when I hit a key and I couldn't get it back. I exited Excel and tried to reopen the document. But now when I try to open it it comes up with a question about enabling/disabling macros and no matter what I click, or how I go in and edit my macro settings, it won't open. I just get a blank blue screen. Then when I close it, it asks me if I would like to save the changes to the file...but it didn't even open the file in the first place.
There are no macros in the file, I was going to create one yesterday but changed my mind halfway through and deleted it. In My Documents, the excel icon for the document has a yellow scroll with an exclamation mark on it. I'm not sure if this is something to do with the macro that the document thinks it has in it, or if it means the document is corrupt or something.
I have also tried restarting my computer, copying and then renaming the file and then trying to open that, and opening it in different ways (ie, from the recently opened list, from the actual file itself, etc). It's important I get this file back, I can't afford to have to start it again!
Any ideas? Thanks.
