Opening a .xlw file
Hi Hal,
Just a stab in the dark. Make a copy and try changing the file extension from .xlw to .xls and see if that will open. HTH Martin "Hal Kingsley" wrote in message ...

Opening a .xlw file
Hal
an .xlw is a workspace file, it stores information about a group of workbooks, and their state (visible, tiled etc). You need the .xls files that the .xlw refers to, in the same relative location to do anything useful Cheers Simon Blog: www.smurfonspreadsheets.net Website: www.codematic.net Excel development, support and training Hal Kingsley wrote: Hi all, I am using Excel 2007 and when opening a file that was emailed to me with an .xlw extension nothing happens.

You need the xls files to go with the workbook file in order toopen/use the file. -- smileitsunclejohn ------------------------------------------------------------------------ smileitsunclejohn's Profile: http://nettechguide.com/forums/member.php?u=236 View this thread: http://nettechguide.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2243182 |
