Hi All,
The big green guy here, just wanted to let you all know that we now have the reputation system in place, the reputation system allows you to give a visible pat on the back to those that have helped you or whose information has been helpful.

You will see an icon in every post (Light Blue scales), click this to give the reputation point to whom you think deserves it, a green square appears for a reputation with more and more adding over time.Pretty soon you will see a string of green squares appear in the top right of your posts as your reputation grows and your forum presence!

Good Luck!
The Hulkster!

Corrupt File in Excel 2007
Hi, I've got an xlsx file which won't open. I don't have a backup of it. I get this message: Windows cannot find: "[path]" make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. Actually, that's different to the message I was getting before. It used to say "Excel found unreadable content in 'filename' Do you want to recover the contents of this worbook? If you trust the source of the workbook click yes." but that didn't work either.

Along with cell data and some macros, it's got lots of images which I don't have a backup of either. I've free trials of a couple of programs that are supposed to fix corrupt excel files but they fail too.

I don't expect it can be fixed, but if anyone has an idea of how i could possibly extract to save any of the data or images, it would save me a lot of work designing it all-over again.

Sorry, I've been hunting round for days for an answer.
