What version of Excel did you have on Win 2000?

Did you open these files in Excel 2003 and save them as Excel 2003 file
version?

Were you able to work with them?

If so, I see no reason for the error message when you try to open in Excel
2007.

But then, I am running Windows XP, not Vista.

When I double click it says "filename.xls is not a valid Win32

Does it matter that the original xls files were made in Windows 2000 and
now
I have Vista with MS Office Excel?

Just do double click in which file do you want to open.

Remember to Click Yes, if this post helps!
