An issue with opening old files was recently fixed.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but we are happy to tell you that the problem has already been fixed. It should be solved in the next software version. You may want to check for a software upgrade.

I can resurrect the file for you if you email it.

Hi,

I am the original bug reporter at launchpad. I am happy to hear that the new version of gnumeric will solve the problem.

I also have the file that I can not open. Morten, you said you can revive it for me. To what email should I send it, to your email at gnome.org (the one that you use as login here in bugzilla)?

Thanks!

(Sorry for taking long to answer but I was not subscribed to this report)

Sure, go ahead.  It'll be a few days, though, since I need to carefully
inspect a beach somewhere warm.
