Guest VoG™ Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 I know from experience just how good it is.I had an Excel file at work containing months worth of data that became corrupted (due, I believe, to a crappy integration of Office with Lotus Teamrooms - don't ask, it wasn't my idea!). All recent backups were also corrupted. The file was so badly corrupted that attempting to open it crashed Excel, then Windows crashed in quick succession. Our IT department's answer to this was to format my PC and re-install everything. :angry: I took a copy of the Excel file home and managed to open it in Excel 2002. I was then able to export the macros, then export all of the data, sheet by sheet to new workbooks. I then rebuilt the file and it then opened with Excel 97 at work. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
