Windows Vista and Excel 2000 -- incompatibility?
I asked about this issue some 6 weeks ago on two of these newsgroups, and
got a lot of advice, but no solution. Having been away for a month, I'm now back trying to resolve what is still a very annoying problem, and I hope that someone out there can help me. I'm using Excel 2000 on a Vista desktop and on an XP laptop. When using Vista, cell formatting will not work any more. For example, if I try to apply date or custom date formatting to a cell containing '8/6/08', the cell is not formatted as a date. The problem exists even if Excel is opened in Safe mode, exists in both new and existing Excel files, and exists regardless of whether the format is applied before or after the date is entered. BUT if one of the same files is opened using the XP computer, date formatting works as usual. I've searched newsgroups and the web generally, and can find no other examples of this problem. Is this an incompatibility issue between Vista and Excel 2000? If so, does anyone know of a workaround? Can anyone help with any other suggestions? -- Lindsay Graham Canberra, Australia --------------------------------------------- Please reply only to the list/newsgroup so that all may benefit. |
