Hi friends,

For the past few months, everyday I have to download 3-4 files from my
banking site and I save those files in *.xls file format.

But when I open any of these *.xls files, I get this dialog box.

MICROSOFT OFFICE EXCEL

""The file you are trying to open, 'abc.xls', is in a different format
than
specified by the the file extension. Verify that the

file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the
file.
Do you want to open the file now?""

YES NO HELP

After I click YES button, file opens in Excel. But my problem is for
every
file I want to open I have to do the same steps. Now,

all I want is that all these *.xls files open without this dialog box
coming
up. Is there any way by which I can get rid of this

dialog box once for all.

Thanks in advance.

San

Which version of XL are you using?
If it is 2007 google esarching for "batch convert xls to xlsx"
