Default Name Conflict

I used Explorer to drag the file to a diskette, went to another pc that has
Excel 97, opened the file with no problem. Saved the file using a different
name and as a Excel 97 workbook. Came back to 2007 and same problem. I can
not open the file. I've never heard of this "Name Conflict" or "built-in
name". I have no idea what that means and can not find any help with
Microsoft Help topics.
Thanks,

Maybe you can open the workbook in xl2003. Remove the name and save the file.

Then open the newly saved file in xl2007.

Jan Karel Pieterse's (with Charles Williams and Matthew Henson) Name Manager
addin should make it a bit easier.

You can find it at:
NameManager.Zip from http://www.oaltd.co.uk/mvp

I recently install Office 2007. I have Excel files created in Office 2003
that I can not open. I get a message box: "Name Conflict" "name cannot be
the same as a built-in name". Then below that message is: "old name:
Print_Titles" ,then below that a box to enter "New name:" I'be tried
everything I know.
