Help!! Excel file is suddenly opening as a Text file!

I

I tried to open an important file this morning on excel and instead of
opening it properly, it opened the file as a text document. The little
opening box reads "Text Opening "file name" and then shows me a bunch
of random computer language in the workbook. The file was working fine
as of Friday afternoon, was saved and shut down properly. I can't seem
to figure out how to change it back! Please help! I don't think i'll be
able to rebuild the entire file to 100% so I really need to fix this
problem!

Can you open it within XL using File/Open...?
