I created a workbook in Excel with a pivot table to present various financial data. I also password protected the workbook. Prior to today, I had opened and closed the file several times without problems. However, on my last attempt to open the file I received the following message "unable to read file".
Is there a way to open the file? I am using Excel 2004 for Mac.
Thanks.

Excel Workbook
.xlsx
The default Excel
file format. Cannot store VBA macro code or Microsoft Excel 4.0 macro sheets
(.xlm files in Excel 4.0).
Excel Macro-Enabled
Workbook
.xlsm
Uses the same basic
XML format as the Excel Workbook, but can store VBA macro code. Users saving
an Excel workbook that has VBA code or Excel 4.0 macro sheets (.xlm files in
Excel 4.0) are prompted to use this file format.
Excel Template
.xltx
The default file
format for an Excel template. Cannot store VBA macro code or Excel 4.0 macro
sheets (.xlm files in Excel 4.0).
Excel Macro-Enabled
Template
.xltm
Can contain a
VBAProject part or Excel 4.0 macro sheets (.xlm files in Excel 4.0).
Workbooks created from this template inherit the VBAProject part or Excel 4.0
macro sheets that exist in the template.
Excel Add-In
.xlam
A supplemental
program that runs additional code. Excel add-ins use the Open XML file format
to store data, and they support using VBA projects and Excel 4.0 macro
sheets.
