Dear Haz

This may or may not work - I have done a quick test with
the process using a copy of an excel file, and that
worked, so hopefully you should have some success.

Take a copy of the 123 file and in windows explorer,
change the file name to have a .txt extension, then open
the new text file in excel. Unfortunately all formatting
and formaulas will be lost, but if it is a plain data
table everthing should be ok.

Hope this helps
