Tried this method as well...

It sounds like they may be corrupt and that there's nothing you can do. You can rename them to .zip files and using something like 7-zip to test the archives. If that fails then I don't think there's anything that you can do.

Did you try FarligOpptredens method yesterday?

 

[Solitude]

Or actually, [MENTION=12147]Hagan[/MENTION], are you able to open them as zip files like Farlig said?

rename the xl file

whateveritiscalled.xlsx to whateveritiscalled.zip

extract the contents and open the xml file (webpages and java apps also use xml files)

one of those files should have the text/data you are looking to recover

Renaming it does not change the extension, it make adds it to the file's name.

if you are using windows 7 go to tools, folder options, view, untick hide extensions for known file types

You're doing it wrong

Using Windows 10.

In file explorer, click View, then uncheck File name Extentions thats sort of to the right.

Doch-WPs will work too

If you do a test archive with 7-zip does it give you any errors?

 

[FarligOpptreden]

Were my instructions really that unclear?

 

[DieGrootHammer]

Did you know that Chrome has a neat little functionality, in that when you mouse your cursor over an inactive tab, only the parts directly behind your cursor will have a slight illumination, almost like your cursor is some kind of light or something. It's pretty neat.

They are clear to people who are used to these kind of things. We work with xml and such all the time. Hagan doesn't.

However we will need to teach him google-fu.

In firefox developer edition it makes the tab darker again. As if the cursor is sucking out the light from the tab.

thanks, speaking of mouse cursors

the new mac os also have a cool find your pointer option, shake the mouse and the pointer will grow biiiig for a few seconds, almost like the press cntrl to find your pointer in windows option.
