cant open 65179 rows, 36 cols xls

hi
I have an excel worksheet with 65179 rows and 36 cols. The data was
exported from a lotus notes db using a commercial software . The data
contains German characters. When I try to open the worksheet, excel 97
tries to open the sheet but fails - it doesnot crash or anything like
that , just doesnot open. The same worksheet is opened fine in open office.
What could be the problem ? If the xls format were to be corrupted then
even open office shouldnot be able to open it right. I have tried all
the steps mentioned earlier in the ng , but without any results.
What could be the problem. Is there a way I can nail to the possible
problem ?
thank you
gangadhar
