Size of that particular file is 1.35 m.b and it has many sheets. When I try
to open the same error occurs "This program performed an illegal operation
and will be shut down please contact your program vendor" Please do in my
favour and help me to get out of this problem. That file contents very
important data.

Lots of people have praised OpenOffice.org for saving their data and code.
http://www.openoffice.org, a 60-104 meg download or a CD

There are commercial recovery services. I've never used it, but you might want
to check into:

And sometimes newer versions of excel can open files that older versions can't.
(And sometimes just different versions may work, too!)

Can you confirm its the file and not the workstation? try opening it
from another base unit.
Do you use user groups? if so then try getting another user to log on
and try opening it.

What operating system are you using and what version of Excel is the
file written in?

If its definatley the file then I'd suggest you follow Dave Peterson's
advice
