I did what you said, but I still get the dialog box asking if I want to open
it as a read-only. If I answer No, the file will open OK. I just want to get
rid of the step of answering yes or no. Hope you have more suggestions. Thank
You

I would suggest the file be saved as an Excel95 file through 2003 FileSave
AsFile Type.

Then try to open in Excel version 7.

When copying a Excel 2003 file to a computer with Windows 95, Excel version 7

to be asked this each time. In File-Open dialog box, the read-only box is not
checked. Is there a way to get around this?
