Error:
Errors were detected in file name.xls, but Microsoft Excel was able to open
the file by making the repairs listed below. Save the file to make these
repairs permanent.Translation:
This error message may be followed by another error message after you
attempt to save the file: "Damage to the file was so extensive that repairs
were not possible. Excel attempted to recover your formulas and values, but
some data may have been lost or corrupted."

This error sometimes occurs when you try to open a file in Excel 2003 that
has been previously saved in an earlier version of Excel. The workbook may
be damaged or corrupted, and you will experience this error even though the
Excel file opens without any problem in your earlier version of Excel.

Solution:
If you have the earlier version of Excel available, install it on the
computer where you have Excel 2003 installed. Open the original file, copy
the file, and paste it into an open Excel 2003 workbook. You should now be
able to save the file in Excel 2003.

Is there a workaround if you do not have an earlier version of Excel
available ?

Thank You
