All of a sudden when I open an Excel spreadsheet that contains Images, they
are lost and I get the following error: File Error: Data may have been lost.

Any other spreadsheet opens just fine, just those with images are a problem.
Plus I can no longer insert images into a file. Did some setting get
changed that I don't know about? I'm using Office 2000 Premium and
unfortunately have no idea where the CD is as someone quot;borrowedquot; it and it
never found it's way back.

Thanks in advance for any help.

It sounds to me like the workbook is corrupted.

Lots of people have praised OpenOffice.org for saving their data and code.
Maybe it'll save some of your images.

www.openoffice.org, a 60-65 meg download or a CD

There are commercial recovery services. I've never used it, but you might want
to check into:
www.officerecovery.com

And sometimes newer versions of excel can open files that older versions can't.
(And sometimes just different versions may work, too!)

Thanks Dave, tried Recovery and that didn't work, so am now downloading Open
Office in the hopes that will work. If not, I'll have to find where to get a
replacement CD from.
