open 2000 files with 2003
We are networking between 2 computers. Some files were created on Comp1 with
Excel 2000 and I'm trying to open and edit them on Comp2 with Excel 2003. How do I do this? I can view the file name, but it just doesn't open -- Thanks, Tarra |

It's the same file format so it shouldn't be any problems. Did you use
fileopen from within Excel or are you using windows explorer (clicking on the files)? -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Tarra" wrote in message ... We are networking between 2 computers.

open 2000 files with 2003
I was using explorer (clicking) but if I go into the open box it works. Why
can't I click on my desktop shortcuts? -- Thanks, Tarra "Peo Sjoblom" wrote: It's the same file format so it shouldn't be any problems.

Try either of these
toolsoptionsgeneral and deselect (if checked) "ignore other applications" or 1. Close Microsoft Excel. 2. Click Start, and then click Run. 3. In the Open box, type the following (with the quotation marks): "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel.exe" /unregserver NOTE: If you have installed Microsoft Office to another location, use your correct path for Excel.exe instead. 4. Click Start, and then click Run. 5. In the Open box, type the following (with the quotation marks): "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel.exe" /regserver HTH -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Tarra" wrote in message ...

Try the usual fix for this.
ToolsOptionsGeneral Uncheck "Ignore Other Applications" If no joy with that................ Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar 1) StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK. 2) StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK. See the space between exe and /regserver You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe. In that case StartRun "C:\your path to\excel.exe" /regserver(quotes required)OK.
