File Format Converter
I have installed the file format converter application on top of MS Office XP
to be able to read MS Office 2007 files. When I open an Excel 2007 file, the file name is changed and it opens as "Read Only", though the file was not read only initially. This does not happen when I open MS Word 2007 files. Does anyone know a way to avoid this from happening? Thanks. |

This appears to happen when the file you've opened has some attribute that
saving in Excel 2003 would not preserve, like data beyond column IV. Of course it would probably be something different in your case. I think you can find out what it is by trying to save the workbook in Excel 97-2003 format in Excel 2007. A warning about what would be lost should pop up. -- Jim "Hugh" wrote in message ... |I have installed the file format converter application on top of MS Office XP | to be able to read MS Office 2007 files.

just wanted to let you know that I released a new version of the add- in that enables saving a DBF file in Excel 2007. New features: 1. Now you can add/insert new fields, create calculated fields in addition to adding new records or editing existing records in your native DBF file! 2. If you start with an Excel file the software now have enhanced capabilities to determine the field types (better than Microsoft's own in earlier Excel versions). 3. The add-in checks DBase field naming conventions and also identifies duplicate fields. All problem field names are visually identified with a cell comment! 4. If you start out with a brand new file and forget to save it, the add-in will ask before the conversion. 5. Large files are supported. I edited files over 500,000 records with no problem.
