It's got nothing to do with the operating system. Both XP and Vista can run
similar programs. There is a format difference between Excel 2007 and previous versions. Native Excel 2007 files have an .xlsx extension. If this is your problem, you can: 1. Save the file as .xls in 2007 2. Download the Office compatibility pack from he http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en Regads, Fred. "Bradley763" wrote in message ...

Do you have Excel installed on the computer with Vista?
The operating system has nothing to do with it.
