How to repair corrupt MS Excel 2003 (XLS) File?

I have important MS Excel file data and unfortunately got corrupt due to virus attacks, so my crucial Excel sheet got lost, how to repair corrupt MS Excel 2003 (XLS) File? If have any solution please assist me.

A corrupt excel spreadsheet can be repaired by using Open and Repair technique. It is a built-in repair function that opens a corrupt excel file forcefully.
*Open MS Excel > press Ctrl+O > locate corrupt excel spreadsheet and select it.
*Click on the arrow shown beside Open button > select Open and Repair.
It will take just a few seconds to be completed and selected file will be opened, if possible.
Or if this doesn't work, one may take help of a third-party Excel Recovery software. I would recommend
Excel Repair Kit software to recover data from corrupt excel spreadsheet. The software is available with free demo version. To read more about this software and to download its free demo version, visit: http://www.excel.repair/

How to repair corrupt \windows\system32\config\system files?

T61 will not boot to Win XP - says the \windows\system32\config\system file is missing or corrupt.
BIOS hardware test of disk drive passes. When I place a Microsoft Win XP disk to attempt a repair, the message says there is no disk drive detected. I assume this is due to unique Lenovo HDD drivers that are not on the Microsoft disk.
Is there a way to repair this file(s) without doing a full HDD reformat?
THank you.

You need to include the Intel Matrix Storage manager via Floppy disk while running setup-CD or change in BIOS "Config"-SATA" to compatibility.
Then you can repair windows but first backup the hard drive onto annother disk f.ex with Acronis True Image Home (Emergency CD).
Boot from XP Retail-CD
`select "Install"
select the drive with the found windows installation and "Repir"
Windows Setup removes the system files and replaces them from CD
after systemreboot you willneed to re-install all patches and updates

? Office 2013 to support Excel 2003 (XLS) spreadsheets containing VBA CommandBars references

Thanks in advance for reading this and offering any wisdom you have! I am not an expert in any of the following, so apologies if off base.
The basic problem is: I need to use Excel 2013 to support Excel 2003 (XLS) spreadsheets containing VBA 'CommandBars' references which don't seem to work in Excel 2013. Details below.
Most of our users are still using older desktop windows PCs and Office 2003! We are beginning to upgrade to laptops running Windows 8.1 with Office 2013. Of course, we IT technical people are using the new laptops first. These new laptops are
64 bit.
Years ago, someone did a lot of development with spreadsheets here in Excel 2003 file formats that automates many activities and routines. Now we with the new laptops are having to support this development using new machines.
There is a basic compatibility issue that appears when first opening these Excel 2003 files that have VBA code that I'll detail below; I seem able to get by that problem.
The current problem appears to be that the existing Excel 2003 VBA code has many references to: "For Each bar In Application.CommandBars". As I've learned, the Application.CommandBars VBA functionality is focused on older MS Office versions' menu
commands, but "...Starting from Office 2007 the Fluent UI is used instead." In other words, because MS Office isn't menu-driven beginning with version 2007 (uses 'the ribbon'), it appears that these references to: "For Each bar In Application.CommandBars"
create a basic incompatibility to opening these spreadsheets in Office 2013.
For a spreadsheet, after I resolve the issue detailed below and save it, when I reopen it I encounter error "Compile error: can't find project or library."
For example, the following code snippet:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
For Each bar In Application.CommandBars
bar.Enabled = False
Next
results in: "Compile error: can't find project or library."
(Sorry, can't include images yet, I am not a VERIFIED USER of this forum yet.)
I went into VBE's menu: Tools>References and check for anything marked MISSING, which I deselected. But I am still receiving this error.
I don't want to get into changing the code a lot to support both Excel 2003 and 2013 (I am no VBA expert, just a dabbler).
And Microsoft officially says that Office 2003 is incompatible with Windows 8 although Application.CommandBars seem to be somewhat supported in Office 2013 .
Are you aware of a quick VBA workaround to get by this?
•I could comment out the validations, commands for: "For Each bar In Application.CommandBars" but then the spreadsheet code probably won't work for users using Office 2003.
Alternatives would be:
•Installing Office 2003 on my Win 8.1 64 bit laptop anyway, in spite of MS's saying incompatible, since this thread discusses at least one person has been able to use Office 2003
•Keeping one older PC with Office 2003 on it for us to support the old Office 2003 code until everyone upgrades their systems
Thanks
Basic compatibility issue that seems solvable:
Opening these spreadsheets displays this error:
Compile error:
The code in this project must be updated for use on 64-bit systems.
Please review and update Declare statements and then mark them with the PtrSafe attribute.
This seems resolvable by going into the VBA code and just adding element 'PtrSafe' where functions are declared; in other words, replacing VBA code "Declare Function" with "Declare PtrSafe Function" seems to get by this.

How to import data from excel or csv files to Oracle table

hello everybody,
I am new here and new in Oracle. I would like to know the steps how to import data from excel or csv files to Oracle table.
Let say I already have table inside the Oracle. Then my user give me the sets of data inside the Excel Worksheet.
So, how can I import the excel data into Oracle table.
Thank you in advance.
cheers,
shima

Even easier. Download JDeveloper 11G from this site.
Set up the database connection, right click on the table, select Import->Excel and specify your file to load it. On the import pop-up, you must view and update each tab indicating Columns, Data Types, and DML.
Columns -- move the selected columns that you want to load to the box on the right
Data Types -- select column name from second column to which the data for each column of the import file should load
DML -- click this tab to generate the INSERT SQL
Once done click 'Insert'

Encryption Type in Microsoft Excel 2013 (XLS file)

Hello,
I am creating a password protected file of format Excel 97-2003 Workbook (.xls) using Microsoft Office 2013.
I have written a java program to read password protected excel file using POI API. I am able to read .xlsx file using this API, but I am not able to read .xls file. It throw error : org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordFormatException: Unknown encryption
info 4
Using same java code I am able to read .xls file if I use Microsoft Office 2010 to create this file.
As per POI API documentation:
Apache POI contains support for reading few variants of encrypted office files:
XLS - RC4 Encryption
XML-based formats (XLSX, DOCX and etc) - AES and Agile Encryption
I think in Microsoft Office 2013, encryption type has been change for XLS file. So I want to know that how can I solve this issue. Also please let me know how to configure Encryption Type in Microsoft Excel 2013 Excel file.
OS is Windows 8(64-bit).
Thanks

Error when opening XLSX file with Excel 2003 SP3, file does open but in read only mode with temporary name

I am using Excel 2003 SP3 and have the Office 2007 compatibility pack installed. When I open Office 2007 formatted Excel files (XSLX) directly in Windows Explorer, I receive the following error if I do not have Excel already opened:
"Windows cannot find '<path to file>'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."
Even though I receive the error, the file does open; however, it opens in Read Only mode with a name such as "Xl0000024.xls". The number seems to increment up each time it happens.
Now here is the strange part. If I have Excel already open and try to open the file in Windows Explorer, the file opens fine in Modify mode with no error and with the correct file name.
I Googled the error I was getting and found KB211494. It says I should uncheck the box in Options on the General tab that says "Ignore other applications", but this box is already unchecked in my case. Any other ideas? This is
really frustrating as a small percentage of our company has upgraded to Office 2007 with the rest still on Office 2003.

This may be a file association problem. To solve that:
In Windows 7:
1. Right-click the file,
2. Select "Open With"
select [Your Program Here]
3. Check always use this program.
In Windows XP:
1. Locate the file as you have described above
2. Right click the file
3. Select Open with from the pop-up menu
4. Click Choose default program…
5. Select Excel in the Recommended Programs box
6. Check Always use the selected program to open this kind of file
7. Click on OK.
1. Make Excel not available from Office 2007 listed under Programs and Features in Control Panel.
2. Take a registry backup using the steps given here
3. In the registry editor window expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and navigate to .xls right and delete it.
4. Exit Registry Editor
5. Undo Step 1 to make Excel available.
6. Restart the computer and verify it the issue is fixed.

How do i open and inout an XLS file?

How can I open and input info into an XLS file format?

That is presumably a Microsoft Excel file, for which you need Microsoft Office. If you don't have that (and don't want to buy it) try Googling for OpenOffice, a free substitute.

How to wrap a cell in a xls file created from SQLplus

Hi,
I have the following sql script in Unix which creates a xls file for me -
set pagesize 9999 lines 130
set echo off
set termout off
set markup HTML on
set enpmap off
spool $test/userxyz/testfile.xls;
-- BEGIN: Data exctraction from REFINTEG
ttitle ' REPORT FOR DATABASE x1111y0'
select ' ' || error_message as ERROR, ' ' || error_type as TYPE, '&nbs
p;' || data_selection as DATA_SELECTION, ' ' || description as DESCRIPTION,
' ' || npp as NPP, ' ' || item as item
from   refinteg;
spool off;
set markup HTML off;
EXIT;
/                    The xls file I am getting needs to have the DESCRIPTION column as wrapped. i.e the contents will sizing the cell.
Could you provide any leads as to how to include this formatting in my sql script.
Thanks.

I am trying to give a snapshot of how my csv is looking like currently and how I want it to be -
Error      Type      Data_Selection    Description                      NPP      Item
AAA         new       nsdancsjjsjqs      abc=123 xy=12 pq=34      john       12345678
BBB         old         dsiuhfdcndhjd      mno=345 cd=56 ij=89      kate       23456667
How I want it to look like (pls. note the Description column) -
Error      Type      Data_Selection    Description                      NPP      Item
AAA          new       nsdancsjjsjqs      abc=123                          john      12345678
                                                    xy=12
                                                    pq=34
BBB         old        dsiuhfdcndhjd      mno=345                         kate       23456667
                                                 cd=56
                                                 ij=89
i.e each of the new values in the description column of my spreadsheet would occupy a newline inside the same cell.I do not know how this can be achieved in the SQLplus. Do we need to add any formatting parameters in the sql file.
Thanks.

How to dump a query on a XLS file?

I´m working in a stored procedure on that i can send a dinamic query and it return me the result into a xls file.
I´ve found the way to generate that xls file from Pl/sql, but now I need be able to assing each field of each row into his corresponding cell. For this I need to put each field of each row in a variable and then work on it.
For generate xls file, I´ve created a datatype by following the indications of Jasson Bennet´s blog.
http://radio-weblogs.com/0137094/2006/10/26.html
In the example, values are assigned directly to the cells. But it not is valid for me because I dont know what will be these...
I think that if you want see the blog, you´ll can understand better what I´m refering...
Thanks for your time...

Strange requirement, you don't know the query, the columns and the number of rows you get, but you know that you want the value of the second column of the second row :)
But try this
declare
t_c integer;
t_r integer;
t_v varchar2(100);
begin
t_c := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
dbms_sql.parse( t_c, q''select 'Roy' name, 'sales' deptno, 25 age from dual
union all select 'Sara', 'HHRR', 30 from dual
union all select 'Mike', 'finances', 35 from dual'', dbms_sql.native );
dbms_sql.define_column( t_c, 2, t_v, 100 );
t_r := dbms_sql.execute( t_c );
t_r := dbms_sql.fetch_rows( t_c );
t_r := dbms_sql.fetch_rows( t_c );
dbms_sql.column_value( t_c, 2, t_v );
dbms_sql.close_cursor( t_c );
dbms_output.put_line( t_v );
end;

How to repair corrupted Macbook Pro hard disk when I don't have a startup disc provided by Apple

So my MBP was really making horrible clicking noise and I figured out that my start up Lion OSX disk partition is corrupted.
I have three partitions. One for Lion OS X, another for Documents and another for Movies and Downloads. When I run disk utility and verify other two partitions(documents and movies/downloads), they appear to be okay but when I do the same with Lion OS X then it says:
The volume Lion OS X was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired....then use Disk Utility to repair this disk.
Is my hard drive gonna die soon? Or will it be okay if I just format my 500gb hard drive completely and install the fresh copy of Lion OS X again? I don't have a recovery disc or what so ever provided by Apple anymore. I have a DMG installation file of Lion OS X and a USB flash drive(4 GB approx). How can I repair the disk partition without the recovery start up disc?
Please help me, I am really worried.

Hmmm idk if it's the clicking noise or not but it is making a noise of course. Sounds like hmmm few old desktops that makes weird loud noise for the first 20 seconds they boot up.
I am still unsure if it needs to be changed because the other two volumes appear to be okay. Why only this one? I have already saved all of my data in an external hard drive but it's weird how my 10 year old desktop is running on a same hard drive and my 3 years old 3000$ laptop had it's optical drive replaced, dead pixels, trackpad problem and now hard drive when I take care of my laptops like my baby and more over I don't even travel with it, it is always sitting on my desk like a desktop.

How to repair corrupted PDF-File ?

Hi there !
I am having problems with a couple of PDF-files which got damaged due to a hard drive break down / file recovery action.
Neither can i open them ("...not supported") nor have several attempts in repairing them (by using Pdf-repair software) been successful.
Interesting point about it is, that in terms of file characteristics everything seems to be OK (file size, file type etc. are recognized by the computer).
Does anyone have an idea what could be done to get my PDF's back to a readable status ?
Thanks     timrelo
Ps: In case you got an idea about how to fix a corrupted pdf-file, i am willing to send you one of my files.
      To do so, please send an email to    [email protected]    and i will email you a file.

Hi Bernd,
unfortunately i don't have the root-file (indesign etc.) to re-create/export a new pdf.
all i got is a couple of restored (from the crashed hard drive) pdf files which are indicated as being "corrupt/damaged".
greets   tim
