Why can't the fix just be posted here? I thought that the purpose was to ask folks to do a little homework before they posted. I'm guessing that putting the error message into Google would have resulted in an answer. However, by taking what little information you gave from your post, I trusted that you were being truthful that you had a site license, you were using office x, and you received an error. That led me to put these keywords into Google: site:microsoft.com office x error site license The very first hit was this: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=312232product=ent2001 Reading that, I now assume that the error message you received was: This installation of Microsoft Office X exceeds the number of installations permitted by the license agreement putting that into Google also resulted in the same first link to Microsoft, even without putting around it or limiting to site:microsoft.com which would have given you an answer much more quickly than posting here.

Re: Office X: Opening Excel
Brilliant. Solution to opening (and recovering) Excel workbook data was opening the workbook from within the icExcel demo application. All data recovered. One minor glitch: formatting was lost, but no harm done. I will buy icExcel. I must assume that the particular workbook was corrupted seen as all other Excel documents are working just fine.

Re: Office X: Opening Excel
It was someone else's file. I support a 'bilingual' environment 60%/40% PC to Mac. Sometimes the best solutions I come up involve a mac smiling through a window! It is worth noting thought that unlike Alain, my case involved a flat data-file. There was no importing involved. I never did figure out what caused the problem in the first place. As to your question about cross platform compatibility, I can't say that I have noticed any. There may be some known issue, but I have never encountered it. I manage my PC's from a WinXP box running Office XP, but do much of my other work on an OSX Ti-Book with Office V.x. More often then not, things work really well.

Re: Office X: Opening Excel
What happens in these situations? Nothing? A warning/dialog box? My first thought is to check/repair permissions. Another would be to Get Info on the file, go to Open With, navigate to Excel, then verify to Always Open With Hmm - what size is the file? Do you know for a fact it's a legitimate Excel file? A very round about method, but perhaps worth a shot: Open the file in AppleWorks. It should translate okay. Try saving as an Excel sheet, or just Copy Paste over. Note that if this workbook contains more than one worksheet you may have problems as AppleWorks doesn't handle multiple sheets (IIRC) HTH On Sat, 7 Feb 2004, CONGELADORA MORELIA wrote: Do any of you kind souls know how I can open a specific Excel workbook which refuses to open.

Re: Office X: Opening Excel
Thanks for the possible solutions offered, which I have tried, as follows: 1)Permissions: The file is mine, permissions seem to be OK (I'm the owner/ only user, registered as Administrator). No password protection, so passwords not an issue. File not locked. 2)Warning/dialogue boxes: I get the warning concerning macros, offering to enable or disable them. Whichever I choose (enable or disable) seems to make no difference. Dialogue box disappears once checked and nothing happens. 3)Opening on a PC: I have tried opening the file on a PC as suggested, but this doesn't work either ( I tried on two PCs) 4) File size: 290Kb (small but unfortunately containing important data). Despite lack of success, I'm still hoping, and I'm still all ears to any advice. TIA Alain.

This reminded me - wasn't there a thread about problems with cross-platform Word docs? Something involving Office for WinXP? Forget the details, but that might be the problem. Was this your own file or someone else's? Good Luck.

You could maybe try to force open it in a text editor to see if you can recover some data. There might be a lot of control characters but you might be able to see your data. If you have BBEdit, I would try this one first. If not, you could always try TextEdit that comes with OS X. Change or add a file extension on your file to 'txt'. But make sure you're working on a copy of the file. BTW, have you tried duplicating the file in the Finder and tried to open the copy? -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelinhttp://nemesys.dyndns.org Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] imagine the disincentive to software development if after months of work another company could come along and copy your work and market it under it's own name...without legal restraints to such copying, companies like Apple could not afford to advance the state of the art -Bill Gates '83 -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Office X: Opening Excel
Another possible solution is to use MacLink Plus Deluxe to access the file. You can set the software up to translate the file from one version to another. It can also be used to identify the existing file's author and version. Finally, it can be used to open the file in a fashion similar to that suggested by someone earlier in the thread (Textedit). -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Office X: Opening Excel
Do any of you kind souls know how I can open a specific Excel workbook which refuses to open. I've tried thefollowing, to no avail: 1) clicking on the workbook icon as usual, as I have done with that particular workbook for almost 2 years. 2) opening the workbook from within the Excel application. 3) clicking on an alias of the workbook 4) clicking on a copy of the workbook. 5) restarting the Mac several times 6) shutting down and booting up the Mac several times. I unfortunately have no recent backup of the workbook. All other files, documents and applications work perfectly. All advice will be gratefully appreciated.

Re: Office X: Opening Excel
I admit up-front- this isn't the kind of advice I normally give. Try opening the file on a PC with MS Office. I had this happen for someone with an iMac DV, OS 9.1, Office 2001. I tried on a couple of different macs and didn't get anywhere. When I tried on my PC, it showed the Conversion in progress message and then opened. Several formatted text cells were lost, but most of the data was there. Good Luck.
