The clue is in the file extension. It is .XLSX, which is the new Microsoft Office 2007 format, which OpenOffice cannot yet open. You'll have to arrange to have that file saved in the older .XLS format. Alteratively, if you only want to read that file, you could install the free Microsoft Excel Viewer & Compatibility, available from here:
