Hi
normally there's no difference in the use of these wo Operating systems
together with Excel macros. I would guess for her the file is already opened

My platform is Windows XP and is using excel 97 macros. My supervisor is
using Windows 98 and is also using excel 97 macros. The strangest thing
is that she can open the excel file(.xls) using .activate while I have
to use the workbooks.open to open an existing excel file(.xls). Ok
maybe I have missed out something in the midst can someone fill me in
this one and point me to some links about the difference of using
macros in Windows XP and Windows 98????? Cause I already have problems
popping up ever since I have switched to windows XP platform. :(

In case anyone wants to know what I mean, here is the code:

windows("files.xls").activate = for Windows 98, Pentimum II

Workbooks.Open filename:="D:\files.xls" = for Windows XP, Pentimum 4
