Cannot open excel file

[jan]

well duno about the time it takes for the file to open but
if u can open in in excel 2003 and not in 2000 i say its
is saved as a excel 2003 file(or atleast a version higher
than 2000) try opening the file on the 2003 and save it as
a excel 2000 file if posible(might loze some functions tho
but dont know bout that)

hmm, have u also tryd saving it with the office 2003 so u
can exclude the option that the file is corupted (in 2003
save it as a new file) couse it can be that its dammaged
but that the 2003 still could make some cence out of it
and 2000 cant?
