..SDC is the Open Office spreadsheet file extension.
Open Office is an alternative to Microsoft Office and is a free (but large!) download: http://www.openoffice.org/ AlexL -----Original Message----- I have received an email with an attachment of addresses.

According to http://mathstat.carleton.ca/~help/FAQ/MSDNAA_FAQ.html: -------- What is an SDC file? The .SDC file format is a Secure Download Cabinet file. It is an encrypted and compressed file format for Internet delivery of the products. The product executable that is downloaded from ELMS decrypts and extracts the product. If you have an SDC file on your hard drive after downloading a product, the process has failed. Delete the SDC and try again. -------- You can try opening the file in a program such as WinZip, but it probably won't work. If it fails, I suggest you reply to the sender and ask for the file in some standard compression format such as .zip. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

I don't use OpenOffice so I've never seen its extensions -- but it seems odd that a Google search for "sdc file" didn't turn up a single mention of OpenOffice in the first 50 hits. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

I used this very useful site: http://filext.com/
And if you do a Goodle search for "sdc file extension" then there are lots of hits on the first page for StarOffice/StarCalc which is just another name (the old name) for Open Office...
