Visio file damedged by itself "Unexpected end of tile" unable to

[Baranoush]

I am working on a Visio file (Visio 2003 professional, English) in almost 1
year.
This is a file about 6 Mb which I have worked on more than hundred hours,
maybe thousands!!

I have now a huge problem! The problem is that I can simply not open the
file!!
When I try to open that I just get the message:
--------
“An error (1) occurred during the action Open File. Unexpected end of file.â€
--------
In the map that I have saved the file in, I also see that the temporary file
(~$$“SameNameâ€.~vsd) file that you get during working with Visio is yet rest!

And when I mark my Visio file, Windows XP also shows a thumb picture of the
files content in “details-panel†in the left side but I can yet not open that.
It has just ended to work by itself!!
Right now I have been so terribly mad so I just crying and tear my hair . . .

PLEASE!! HELP ME and advise me how I can open/recover this file . . . .

Many thanks!
Best regards,
/Baranoush

Have you saved a copy of the temporary file?
Do you have any code running when the document opens?
I can try to open your file on my Visio 2007 system, if you like, but it may
not work.

Many thanks David!
Yes I have it. The temporary file is 4 Kb and the file itself is 5,87 Mb. I
will be really grateful if you can try with your Visio 2007. If your e-mail
can not axcept such as big mail than I can add them in my ftp so you can down
load them as a zip file.

Many thanks David,

I found some page on Microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278261)
there they describe that you should change the extenstion of temporary file
to .vsd and open it in Visio but because this problem depends on a "COM-OLE "
question, you must first install a little file q278261.exe for solution.
I counldn't install that file on my system :-(
I just get the message that my system does not need this updating ;-(

Thanks at all!
Best regards
