There must be an active workbook in order to access preferences.
As far as the file not opening, is it possible that the workbook has
one
or ore worksheets with a slash (/) in the sheet name? If so, open
the
file in another version of Excel and remove the slash from the sheet
name.

How would I open the file in another version if '08 is the only one on my
computer? Are previous versions available inside this program? Sorry if I
am being dumb! :-) I am just sick about "losing" a file that I worked on
all morning. Any help would be appreciated, or else I am going to have to
re-enter all of my data. *sigh*
