st: Cannot open dta file in Stata 12

Hi,
I am currently trying to open a .dta file, which was created by exporting the data from excel, using a stata software. The .dta file was created on my supervisor's computer and opened fine in Stata on his computer but I have not been able to open it on
other computers. I keep getting a error r(610) that the file is not in stata format.
Furthermore, I've tried importing directly from excel but I am unable to check the button for using the first row as variable names.
Could anyone please advise me on why the original data file is not recognised as a stata file and how I could overcome the problem? Also, how could I overcome the second issue of being able to read the first row of the excel file into stata as variable
names?
Many thanks,
Ruchira.
