Unfortunately, I can not get adequate support for the program. My guess is
that Excel registers the file type in a certain way so that the document
management program sees it and can use it. Unfortunately, it only sees
*.xlsx files on computers that do not have Excel 2003 or earlier installed.

Thank your for your suggestions.

Does your document management program have the capability of converting from
a .xlsx format to a .xls format? When Excel saves the files, it's not only
with a different extension, the files are in different formats.

I have a document management program that I use that will only save based
on
file types. In order for other people who have older versions of Office
to
be able to work with a file I save, I need to identify the old file
extension. (Yes, I know I can save to an xls file in Office 2007, but that
is
not the issues here.) The program gives me a choice of file extensions
such
as *.xlsx and *.docx and *.pdf.

Prior to installing Office 2007, it gave me the option of saving to *.doc
and *.xls. It does not do so anymore. I found out that if one also has
an
old version of office on the machine, the document management program will
recognize *.doc and *.xls extension.

There seems to be some sort of a registry or similar issue here. Anyone
know how to solve this?
