Data Loss on Excel.

I got the error "file error:data may have been lost" while opening a file that i had saved in the excel 2003 format.
I had recently upgraded to Office 2007 but was saving this particular file in the oild version.
when i opened the file i noticed that all the cells with the date function eomonth were showing n/a.
What is the reason for this and is there a way to repair the file?
Is there a possibility of this happening with any other excel file i am currently saving in the old version instead of saving in 2007 format?

Excel tip:

Move data worksheet to worksheet

To move data from one worksheet to another, highlight the data.

Select and hold down the ALT key and position the mouse on the border of the selection until the mouse pointer displays four-headed arrows.

Drag the selection down to the destination worksheet tab.

When the arrow touches the tab, Excel switches to the desired worksheet. Now drag the selection to the correct position. Let go of the mouse and then the ALT key.

To copy data from one worksheet to another, select and hold down the CTRL+ALT keystroke combination and perform the steps above.
