Hi guys
I have an excel file (6.6MB) damaged during a system crash.
Trying to open it from its shortcut prompts the "open with" box. Clicking excel prompts the ".....cannot be opened. The file may be read-only......." error message.
The properties box for this file identifies its type as "File", not as "Microsoft Excel Worksheet". (Some other damaged excel files are now also identified as "File" but I can open these ok).
I have opened and saved a version in Word but obviously the file is unreadable!
I have also tried to copy cells to a new workbook but get the "File not found" message.
(System Details:Windows 98SE, Excel 2000)
Any help would be very much appreciated
