Errors Opening Excel 2000 files in Windows 98 previously saved in
I work with excel 2000 files on several different computers - some using
Wndows XP and others still using Windows 98. I find that when opening a file in Window 98 previously saved from another computer using Windows XP my custom number and date formats are lost. I notice that Windows XP adds some customised formats to Excel's default list of formats available - this never happens under Windows 98. Any light on this problem would be much appreciated. -- Paul Fraser |

I would guess that your Windows regional settings are different on the
various machines. It could be the countries selected or the number/date formats if the countries are the same. That's place to look anyway as the number/date formats available in Excel keys off of the regional settings. -- Jim "Paul Fraser" wrote in message ... |I work with excel 2000 files on several different computers - some using | Wndows XP and others still using Windows 98.
