Default Built in Excel 2003 need to convert to 2007

The compantibility messages were delivered when I was opening .xls format in
2007 compantibility mode and using the conditional formatting options
available in 2007 then saving as .xls.
Since posting the original question I changed the file format to .xlsm and
have not received any compatability notifications.
I have ran my macros and they are working so I guess I am good.
Thanks for confirming that it is as simple as a change of file format.

Should be as easy as Save as 2007 macro-enabled workbook.....*.xlsm

What compatibility issues are you being warned about?

Do you have some specific messages you could post?

I have built a spreadsheet in 2003 with macros, advanced filtering and
vlookups. I open it 2007 compatibility mode, but have found as I develop the
spreadsheet further I am being warned of more compatibility issues. I need
to be able to use all the 2007 features to move forward so how do I convert
what I already have from 2003 to 2007? Is it as simple as changing the Save
As format to Macro Enabled Workbook? I don't want to re-create everything.
Thanks!
