I have a user that has a spreadsheet (Office 2000 SP3) that was saved and
when she tried to open it again, she got the message "Unable to read the
file".
When I tried to open the same file with Excel 2002 (SP3) I recieved the same
message but then excel continued to open the file and tried to fix the
problems. Once the spreadsheet was viewed, I noticed some data corruption
in the pivot table. Some field names were replaced with unreadable
characters.
I am assuming that Excel 2000 corrupted the file on save since it could not
open it back up immediately. But why and why no messages to the user on the
save.
Any ideas on why the corruption occured and how to prevent it in the future?
Thanks,
