Finding Corrupt Files
I have some Office Documents from 2000 and prior that do not open. I am looking for an application that lets me search a network drive and return results with all the files that have been corrupted.
If anyone could help me out that would be great! I am not looking for applications such as Registry Mechanic that only works for system drives or applications that look through the C Drive. Last edited by rockstar; 02-24-2011 at 10:36 AM. Reason: New Information |

Hi Rockstar,
You can't really tell whether an Office document is corrupt other than by trying to open it. But corruption isn't the only reason a document might not open. For example, if you were to change a Word document's extension to .xls, Windows would no longer recognise it as a Word file - it would try to open it with Excel instead (probably unsuccessfully). Also bear in mind that a corrupt file doesn't mean nothing useful can be retrieved from it.
