Hi cgoodlein,

I think your problem is similar to mine as i was using MS Office 2003 SP-3. One day i was working on US calling project and the database could not be accessed at all. There are two sub problems to this one either the file that you are trying to open is advanced version than MS office 2003 or the Excel file format is the problem. The general Excel file extesions are ".XLS" ifthe Excel file extension is other than this it would be ".XLSX" that means you either need ms office 2007 or search for ".xlsx" to ".XLS" converter generally you will get such converters on www.torrentz.com
