Dave,

Thanks. I'll give that a try when I get to that machine again.

I think windows will use the last version of excel that was installed as
the
default program associated with the extension.

But you can reregister excel so that an earlier version will be the
default.

Close excel
windows start button|Run
"C:\yourpathtoexcel2002\excel.exe" /regserver

And then test it.

double
click on an *.xls file?

Thanks,
