spreadSheet.open returns error "file contains corrupted data"

Hi,

I am developing in asp.net (vb). I have an excel woorkbook with a macro.

When trying to open using spreadsheet.open I am thrown to an exception - "FILE CONTAINS

CORRUPTED DATA", but i am able to open the excel file independtly without a problem.

This only happens when the excel sheet is format xls.

When the sheet is xlsx I don't have a problem.

I have Office 2007 on my computer.

Any ideas?

Thanks Karen

You probably already have this fixed. But with xls files there is no underling xml base code. You can open the xls file in 2007 and saveas excel book (.xlsx) or run the convert menu line on 2007.
