Pivot Table Error message

[Rich Mogy]

I have created a pivot table in an Excel workbook. When I open the work
book, I can a message telling me that there are errors that Excel has
repaired and to save the workbook. There is also a log file that is as
follows:

Microsoft Excel File Repair Log

Errors were detected in file 'C:\projects\marketing requests.xls'
The following is a list of repairs:

Repairs were made to PivotTable report 'PivotTable1' on '[marketing
requests.xls]MarketingAnalysis'.

but the message keeps happening each time I open the workbook, whether I
choose to replace the cells or save it as a new workbook, or what else?

Thanks in advance.

Lots of people have praised OpenOffice.org for saving their data and code.
http://www.openoffice.org, a 60-65 meg download or a CD

There are commercial recovery services. I've never used it, but you might want
to check into:

And sometimes newer versions of excel can open files that older versions can't.
(And sometimes just different versions may work, too!)
