A ann eadie Jun 8, 2004 #1 Data Error (cyclic redundancy error) Is there a way to open this Excel file?
G Gord Dibben Jun 8, 2004 #2 You could have code in the workbook or an add-in which may be causing the error. You could try opening the file in "safe" mode windows start button|Run excel /safe Look for Workbook_Open or Auto_Open code. Go to Tools>Add-ins and uncheck any strange add-ins. Maybe uncheck all and recheck until you find the offender. Gord Dibben Excel MVP

A Ann Jun 8, 2004 #3 Thank you, but I could not open the file in safe mode. still looking for an answer
G Gord Dibben Jun 8, 2004 #4 Ann How and from where are you trying to open the file? What is the origin of the file? Which version was it written in and which version are you running? Is it an *.XLS file or some other? Gord Dibben Excel MVP

D Dave Peterson Jun 9, 2004 #5 Do you get this same error if you try to open that file in Notepad (don't save it from there if you can open it!!!). It kind of sounds like the file is corrupted--or maybe a media (disk) failure.
