I saved a large file without macros as an xlsb file to reduce the file size. Now when I try to reopen it I get the message "Excel has stopped working", it then tries to recover the file and shuts down completely. Any ideas on how to recover this file? Thanks for your help.
can you click on the file to change it to xlsx?

I probably could however I have heard that that won't work. If I don't get a better answer I will give it a try and let you know.
When I try to open the file it does give me problem details. Does anyone know what this means?

You're out of my league w/this.
Keep bumping the post every couple hours if you don't get any more replies so it'll keep it in view for someone w/some serious skills.
Try a repair of MS Office. If that doesn't work, an uninstall, cleanup and re-install may be necessary.

Its not a repair or reinstall issue. That has all been tried before by various users. It has to do with something within the file itself. I have no idea what it is but this particular file can not be reopened when it has been saved as an xlsb file. I wish I knew what is incompatable with the xlsb format but I haven't been able to find anything that gives me any clues.
