No prob RD..........I know how it is with you "younger guys" <VBG

I also used to work off of ZipDisks too, but switched to JumpDrives because
hardly anyone had ZipDrives where I went......in fact, I've even worked off
of Floppies like the OP asked about, a very very loooooong time ago, in a
land far away.

Since technically it is possible to open an Excel File, from wherever,
and
change it, and actually save that changed file to a Floppy
Disk...........,
the correct answer to the *literal*, verbatim subject line of this
thread
is
actually YES!!!

Whether it "should" be done that way or not, is a matter of personal
opinion.

I really think that the *literal*, verbatim subject line of this
thread
must
be answered as a *NO*.

You *save* to the HD.
You then *copy* to the floppy (hey!, that rhymes<g), using Windows
Explorer!

Although for years I've actually calculated and revised WBs *on* a Zip
drive, but I don't consider Zips as a floppy.
And then again, *always* making sure that the Zip capacity was at
least
double the size of the WB.

There's nothing wrong with taking a file on a floppy from location
to
location. You just need to make sure that when you edit it, it's
been
copied
to the target computer, not just on your portable media.

(I'll bet you never expected *this* kind of response to what seemed
like
such a simple question, did you?)

Thank you all for your comments and advice. I can see what I was
trying
to
do is a bit risky, so I'll take your advice and go another route.
Thanks
