for some strange reasons I am not able to open or repair a xls file just
created in excel 2003. The file has multiple worksheets and I am interested
to recover at least one of them with some valuable data. Does someone have a
clue what is the best process and tools to used. The file contains some
formula but I will be happy to retrieve only the values.
 
If you now the sheet name and extend of the data, try entering a linked
formula and see if it will bring the values through. (Copy and paste special
to kill the link after). If not, try opening it in Word

Nick,

thanks. it is what I did and I have recovered most of the values (without
all the formulas). What is strange is that I am running on a Microsoft OS,
with a Microsoft piece of software. I don't recall of crash or malfunctions
on my system but still I get a corrupted microsoft excel file. To me it looks
a serious bug considering that many people are soffering of such problem.
But at least I am out of the prolem. thanks

It's also possible that other software installed on the machine can
interfere. I doubt there will ever be a day when files don't corrupt and
programs crash.

In the meantime...back-up important files ;-)
