Unfortunatly, you will need to find a more current version of Excel to access the pivot table. After you do, save the file in compatible format for older version of Excel. Then you should be able to open the file and update the pivot table. However, if someone created the pivot table with Excel 2007 and used any of the new features, those features will be lost when you save in Excel 2003 format.

See related links for a method to change the default for Excel 2007 to save pivot tables in the older classic format for Excel 2003 and earlier.
