Hello, I have a file that has been generated from an
accounting report generator (FRX). This file is an excel
spreadsheet. Excel loads all other files except this
one. When I load this one it hangs. I can open the file
in newer versions of excel (2002 and 2003) but our
accounting dept. is not ready to migrate to these versions
yet. What is suggested. We have not been able to read
reports generated in this manner for at least 6 months.
 
I've never heard of FRX, but xl2002 and xl2003 have been known to open corrupt
files that earlier versions couldn't.

Is this file created anew each time or is it updated from an existing version?

If it's updated from an existing version, maybe you could recreate the existing
version to see if that gets rid of any lingering corruption.

If it's created anew each time, then (an uneducated guess) it sounds like
there's something wrong with FRX.

Maybe you could have them look into it more or create the file in a different
version (earlier version of excel, Lotus wk*, or even a comma separated values
(.csv) file).

Good luck,
