I have an Excel 2000 file with 2 worksheets, one of which includes charts.
The file opens fine in Excel 2000 but when I try to open it with Excel 2003 I
get a Microsoft error that says Excel has encountered a problem and needs to
close. When it finally opens, all the formatting has been removed from one
worksheet and the Charts are missing. Does anyone have any idea what is
going on and/or what to do?

What happens if you save it down in 2000 as a .htm file and then open it in
Excel 2003 and resave it as a .xls file.
