Yeah, not being very clear am I, after saving as xl5 I then opened in 97 and
started building from there (I think that's what I did!)

97-2002/5.0 format saves the file with two different file formats, one
97-2002 and one 5.0. So it would make you file much bigger.

Saving in xl5 format would remove any use of userforms, activeX controls
or
commandbars.

Oh yeah btw saving Excel as 97-2002/5.0 didn't help given 97-2002
apparently
use same file format but somewhere the file knows which version you
saved
in
and there doesn't appear to be a way to change it.

I've been having a number of problems after developing in xl2002 and
running
on xl97, and ended up saving as 95 and then rebuilding what
functionality
