blank page!

Ok, so I had a customer had a banner made elsewhere because we do not do banners.
However, he wanted us to make the uniforms and t-shirts for their baseball team.

Here is my problem- The gal who did the banner sent me the eps file and I brought it into Corel and I can't see it!! The object manager list all the many curves that it consist of... yet I can NOT see it!! Any ideas?? Has anyone ever had this problem before?
I pulled a different eps file into my corel earlier in teh day and it worked fine, so I am really at a loss?!!

I need to figure this out as they have a game in a couple weeks!!
(I did ask to have the file resent, but do not have it as of yet)
Thanks gang!!

OK, to add to the weirdness... I saved teh 'invisible' image as a CDR file and I can see the image in the folder... but when I bring it into Corel, I have a blank page with a FULL object manager!! ARGH!

OK... so the saga continues! LOL :P

I do however have a workable ending!
I was sent another EPS file and was able to open it in Corel.
So, 2/3 files worked... just not the one I needed the most!
BUT- In attempting to do something else, I imported the non-working EPS file and
IT WORKED!! I have everything there to work with and edit as I need...

so... if you can't open an EPS file with-in Corel, just try importing it and see if that does the trick!

have a great day gang... I gotta put this graphic together now!

Postscript (as in encapsulated postscript) comes in a variety of flavours and it doesn't need much of an error in the coding to throw a wobbly.
