Are you sure this is an Excel file? IF it is really an Excel file, it should open with OpenOffice, BUT the .exe file extension is *not* an Excel file - it is a Windows executable (program) file! I suggest you double-check with the sender before attempting to open it...
Ye it is an Excel file. it is a Self-extracting Archive .( thanks for the site)
I decompressed it with Ark which showed an .xls file. When trying to open it with Open office I get: *this file is password protected*
I donīt know how to get around that
TIA

As far as I know, you can't open an Excel password-protected file in OpenOffice. Get the sender to save the file again, without the password, and send you the new version - then it should open OK.
