Hello, I have several files that became corrupt after moving them from 1
drive to another during a reinstall of windows. I am using windows xp pro
and office 2003 pro. There are also several files that do not appear to be
corrupt but insist that I download and use windows rights management to
read. It is already on my computer. One other file is in access that
requests a password although I never set a password for any of my files.
These files are all of last seasons bicycling data that I had compiled and
are not of a sensitive nature. They are however, very important to me. Is
there anyway to retrieve the data from them even if the files themselves
cannot be reimported into Cyclistats cycling database? If possible, please
respond to my regular email. It is mkalavity@<removethis>sbcglobal.net .
Thank You!

Have you tried the 'Open and Repair' option in Excel 2003?

Openoffice (a free 70MB download from www.openoffice.org) is also great at
opening corrupt Excel files.
