xl97-xl2003 all share the same file format.
Any of those versions should be able to open any workbook saved in any of those versions. Got any other details?

The workbook is saved as a template (.xlt) so when you first try to open it
you get a dialog box that says "Windows cannot open this file: blah blah blah Select the prgram from a list. Then after you click OK a new dialog box SHOULD pop up and asks "Choose the program you want to use to open this file:" Reccommended Programs: Microsoft Office Excel She gets the first Windows box, but after she clicks OK she doesn't get the second box so nothing happens and she can't open my file I sent her. Does any of the make sense?? Thanks ROXY "Dave Peterson" wrote: xl97-xl2003 all share the same file format. Any of those versions should be able to open any workbook saved in any of those versions.

I think that when she opens the file, she shouldn't get any dialog box at all.
In fact, the file shouldn't open. Since it's a template file, she should get a new workbook based on that template. If she's getting a dialog box, I'd tell her to try to reregister excel: Close Excel and Windows Start Button|Run excel /unregserver then Windows Start Button|Run excel /regserver The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets some of the windows registry to excel's factory defaults.
