This macro also creates a log file so that you can identify items that cause problems when you use the macro to transfer them to the new worksheet. If the Microsoft Excel 97 File Recovery Macro fails, view the last entry in the log file to determine which item causes the problem, and then re-create the worKBook without that item. You can download this macro from Microsoft. The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:"

Comment - If you can't open an Excel file, this might interpret it for you.  You might have to make the name of your Excel file 8 characters or less in length.  Also try booting to a Windows 98 boot disk and using real DOS from that.  To copy the output you can click on ton the little C:\ Icon in the upper left of the DOS Window(Cropped picture of the upper left of DOS Window.) and choosing Edit -> Mark and then hitting the Enter Key.
