How do I open .CDR file with Adobe Illustrator CS3?

How do I open .CDR file with Adobe Illustrator CS3? I have a Corel Draw file from a customer and was wondering if we could open this in Adobe Illustrator CS3? I don't know what version the Coreldraw file was created in. Thanks!

"You can open .CDR files directly (i.e. 'File > Open') in Adobe Illustrator CS3 and I assume other versions (tested with CDR file from CorelDraw version 10).

Another option is to get the customer to save the file from CorelDraw as a PDF which should then open in Illustrator."

I was able to open it by changing the cdr file extension to .eps. Worked for me, but may not work on all.
