Gang -

I have a file in Visio 2K on a Win2K PC which I'm unable to open.  I
believe it may have gotten corrupted due to a system crash.  I d-loaded an
.exe from MS's site that is supposed to **prevent** but not recover this
situation.  When I try to open in Visio, I get the following message:

"error (100) occurred during the action Open File.  Visio cannot open the
file because it's not a Visio file."

Even though I backup often, there's no recent copy of this file that has
the desired changes.  In all my years of development, I've never lost a
file so thoroughly.  Any advice/support would be welcome.  Thanks.
