Excel 2007 unrecognized file format in Excel 2003 More options
2007 & 2003
Note to the file - so to speak: Even if one changes Excel 2007's default file SaveAs format, when 2007 closes, it saves files like Personal.xls as a 2007 file format without the new extension .xlsx My point, I still must save files in 2003 for other's who do not have 2007. If I copy Personal.xls in the Excel StartUp Directory to a 2003 platform, Excel 2003 does not recognize the file format. (The file size is about 50% of the original 2003 file size - which is a strong hint that the file is in the new XML format) Therefore, I created a macro to save Personal.xls in the 2003 format in a different directory of my C drive: Workbooks("PERSONAL.XLS").SaveAs "C:\Excel Information \Personal.xls", FileFormat:=xlExcel8 EagleOne |
