sending an excel attachment in an e-mail
 

When I receive an e-mail with an attachment that says .xls I can open this
OK. When I receive one with .xlsx I cannot. Does anyone know how this is
formed

It's created by xl2007.

If you're using an earlier version, you could ask the sender to save a copy of
the file in the earlier format (xl97-xl2003=.xls) and have them send that.

Or you could install the Compatibility Pack:

..xlsx is an Excel 2007 file. You either need to upgrade to 2007 or get your
senders to save an .xls file.
