Excel should be able to open it, but for information beyond that it would be
best to post the question in an Excel newsgroup. This newsgroup is for
Microsoft access, a relational database program.

Try with a plain text editor or a binary viewer.

I know of at least one dozy mare of a company that sends out html files
(and badly-formed html at that) with a .xls extension, for reasons best
known to themselves.

All the best

Ask the person who sent it to you. They should know which software they
created it on.
