I opened an Excel file but it won't show up in Excel. When I exit Excel it
asks if i want to save changes to the file, but it still hasn't shown up as
opened.

It has @Risk functions in it.

I've tried opening it by clicking on the file, using the file open, both
with and without @Risk running and still won't open up.

Excel files without @Risk functions do open OK.

An suggestions?
 
Ron,

I should have added that other Excel files with @Risk functions do open
properly. This appears to be the only one that won't open fully to view it.
It may not have anything to do with @Risk.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks, Kris

Try copying the active cells of your worksheet(s) to a new workbook. You
might also contact Palisade support anyway as suggested.

Thanks Bill but I can't see anything from the workbook in the Excel window. I
wish there was something but it doesn't open up at all. The file must be
corrupted but it starts Excel when clicked on and Excel thinks it is open
beacuse it asks if I want to save it when closing Excel. But there is never
any visual indication that the workbook has opened and all menus are greyed
out. Is it really open? I don't know. Is there any place that can try to
restore a corrupted Excel file if that is the problem? I have contacted
Palisade @ Risk but not heard back yet.

Sometimes an alternate program, such as OpenOffice.org's Calc, can open
a corrupted Excel file. OpenOffice.org is free, but it's a huge download
and may not solve the problem.

Thanks Bill,
I may try that. First I'm trying to restore the file from my Kaser backup
but so far all I got is a blank Excel file! I hope that's not another big
problem to solve.
