Microsoft Excel files can get corrupted due to endless number of reasons including unexpected crash, application bugs, network errors and others.

As an illustration, you try to open an Excel 2000 file that is stored on a network drive or a floppy disk, but fail to do so with an error message on screen indicating that the file is corrupted. You might observe this behavior intermittently.

Cause

The Excel file is corrupted and hence the application cannot open it. This might occur due to any of the following reasons:

- Windows tries to virtualize the hard disk controller and encounters an error while the process. Such conflicts cause to write corrupt information in the files.

- Another reason could be the 'Back Seeking' method that Microsoft Excel uses to access file information. Sometimes, Microsoft Excel doesn't read the file records sequentially but jumps from record to record in a random manner. So, when saving the file to network drive or a floppy disk, this might cause intermittent file corruption.

Solution
