I have an excel file almost 3,000kb in Excel 2003 and i lost all my formulas
and some information is all messed up because i had to many formulas.

I am hoping that Excel 2007 can handle a larger capacity.

I think you may have a different issue. A 3 meg file size is not at all past
the limit of Excel 2003.

Excel 2007 uses a compressed file format. My personal experience has been
that the same data in the 2007 format is between 50-70% smaller.

Microsoft's documentation seems to suggest that 2003 supported up to 1 GB
(1,000 MB) and 2007 can handle twice that. In either case 3 MB is not a big
file in any recent version of Excel, so your problem is elsewhere.
