I send weekly file to folks and save them asExcel4.0 worksheets. Most people
who get the files have PC's with older versions ofexcel. I recently installed
the 11.4.1 update and now several people tell me theycan'tread the files.
Any ideas of how to fix this.

How are you sending them? What does "can'tread the files" mean? Is there an
error? What is the error? How are they trying toopenthe files - double
click or file-Open?

Hi, I have a similar problem. After installing the 11.4.1 (080219)
update, I am unable toopenanexcelfile sent to me by email (other,
older filesopenfine).Excelstarts up OK, but no file data appears.
A progress bar momentarily flashes, but nothing else happens. The
system console reports the following error:

3/26/08 9:07:10 AM [0x0-0x42042].com.microsoft.Excel[494] monitor:
task_for_pid failed (os/kern) failure

This sounds similar to gle's problem. I'm running OS X 10.5.1 on a new
Mac Desktop (2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel; 2 GB RAM). Any thoughts?

Hi,

Your file is probably corrupt or damaged. I think you can try a
utility called Advanced Excel Repair to repair your Excel xls file. It
works rather well for my corrupt Excel xls files. Its web address is
