File will no open in 2000

[Mr. G]

I have a Excel file that was developed in Office 97 and I
am useing office 2000. The error message comes up and
says Microsoft Visual Basic.......An Error occured while
loading Sheet...........Then it closes Excel!!!!

I have other Excel files that were created in Office 97
and they work fine. I think the error has something to do
with the VBS code that the micro is useing.

Any help or advise will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Mr. "G"

Try opening your file while xl is in safe mode.

Close excel
windows start button|Run
excel /safe

Then File|open your workbook.

If you can get to the code, maybe you can correct it.

If that doesn't work, here's a link that points at Chip Pearson's notes to help
