When I try to open this file I get a message saying it is corrupt with the reason "element content is invalid according to the dtd/schema". Does anyone have any ideas on how I can recover the file. I will attach the file if anyone can help me out.

Thanks

    Same error here.

    I am not good at xml but I looked at the xml-file in textmode and could not find anything wrong at the offending line 807.

    After cutting away the whole section the file loads, but there could be something missing now. I attach the Mathcad file and a textfile containing the cutted lines - the offending line is now the third one (<ml:apply>) - in case some experts could find something wrong there.

    If it's of any possible help to you in the future, you may find the 'recovery' file at this link http://communities.ptc.com/message/91122#91122 of some use. I never did get the automation to work properly, that is auto-run a worksheet and return an error if didn't run properly. Consequently, it's still rather mandraulic.

    Did you play with the exclusion range as the instructions at the end of the recovery worksheet? I've just had a quick go and found that excluding region number 37 (region-id 328) restored the rest of the worksheet (that is, I set k in the purple region to 37..37, which then cut that region out of the worksheet). As I said, it involves rather too much user interaction to appeal to my tastes. I was hoping to find a way to automate the region exclusion process but didn't manage to do so.

    (Having looked at the offending region, I opened up the original worksheet in Notepad++ and manually deleted the section between lines 805 (result) and 842 (/result); that restored the worksheet as well)

    No, I didn't play with the region exclusion, as I had no idea where to start. How did you found out (quickly) that region 37 was the faulty one?

    Manually deleting that whole result-section was exactly what I did in first place.
