Access has later file formats. Could you not change that job to output in a
later version?

Hi

I have a problem with an Excel file that I want to auto update against
data
in other Excel files - unfortunately the source files are created by
Access
and so are Excel 95 format. The update works fine if the source files are
open but gives an error message if not. If I re-save the source file as
Excel
2000 it works without the error. There will be circa 240 source files and
when updated by Access will be over written so it is not feasible to
manually
convert the files - there are approx 350 of them!

Any ideas?

Thank you
