Some years ago I created an Excel file to store telephone numbers from my
mobile phone. This went missing and I lost all the numbers but thought my
file would be my saviour - but alas- even though I know I wouldn't have
changed my Password To Open I cannot get the file to open at all. Is there a
way I can get to the information without having to pay for an excel cracker?

There are free crackers. Get one of them :)

Hello
thanks for suggestion. I have searched for "Free" software for several days
but most seem to either offer preview 3 lines of info then ask you to buy or
they only offer to find first 2 or 3 characters of password.
Having trialled some of these (my password when set was only 8 characters
long) they indicate the length to be in excess of 10 characters.
wouyld like to know name of a completely free fully working version.

Quite. :) I recall googling quickly when we needed something to
remove a password from a file ... and had a number (more than 10 ?) of hits.
Tried the first one and it worked fine.

As an aside, thanks to the guys out there that regularly help us all out
with this sort of useful thing. :)
