Vista - 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.
