If you are desperate, you could email the file to someone with office 2000
(like me) and see if they can open it up for you. I won't be home until
later this evening, about 5 hours (7:00PM Eastern Daylight, GMT -4:00),
if you can wait that long.

Have you saved other spreadsheets to the office 2000 format and opened
them up without trouble? I have never tried the 2000 format, only 97.

Of course, you have backups of this file, so whats to worry?
