I *know* it is not an els file... It is (from the header) HTML. I pulled the DTD referenced in the header, it is HTML 4.0 - strict.
If I change the extension to .html and feed it to a browser it opens (mostly) correctly. i.e. it looks like a spread sheet, but there are some header and footer 'garbage'. From what I know about it, it is an export (or report written to disk) from Oracle. The oddest part is that Office 2010 (Windows) will open the file as a spreadsheet, but Office 2011 (Mac) will not, it is treated as a plain text file. Thanks for the help, and any more ideas you may have.
