Help Locating Microsoft Works Spreadsheet

I have a microsoft works spreadsheet that I've used for a long time but seems
to have been corrupted. When I try to open it I get a message "cannot find
the document ......xlr check the drive and directory" When I then do a
search in the C drive I can find the document but when I try to open it I get
a message "windows is searching for ....xlr. To locate it yourself click
browse" this message then changes to "the item that ......xlr that this
shortcut refers to has been changed or moved so this shortcut will no longer
work properly"

When I try to manually locate it from the shortcut it states I still can't
find it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sound like the file is corrupt.

Try this link for Works 'Recovery software.

Hi,

I think your excel file is corrupt. You can try a popular Excel file recovery tool called Advanced Excel Repair to repair your Excel file. It is a powerful tool to repair corrupt or damaged Excel files.

Detailed information about Advanced Excel Repair can be found at Advanced Excel Repair - Repair corrupt Excel files. Fix Excel files.

And you can also download a free demo version at http://www.datanumen.com/aer/aer.exe
