Excel

I just ran across this today. On a pc running windows 95 with Excel for windows 95 version 7.0, I can not open spread sheets that were created on excel 97 or 2000. I get the error message "file format not valid."
Is there a way around this? These files wer emailed to the 95 machine and I can't get them open.
thanks!
