Damaged XLS

[Juan Londono]

hi, I have a big excel 2003 book with many sheets,graphs and formulas, I use
"save as" command for saving a copy in a different location,
when i try to open it Excel shows the repair window telling that thefile is
seriously damaged. The file opens perfect using openoffice calc but
i need to open it in excel, so I dont know what's going on with excel 2003,
someone can help me?

Thanx

If you open it in OO and then save it as a new file, can excel open that new
file ok?

(I don't really have a guess...)

Is that different location removable media?

 

[Juan Londono]

no, i tried to save it as a new file with diffferent name and it's still the
same problem.

I have the problem saving to different, or the same location, using "save
as".
