New Excel should be able to open old Excel files, it's the other way 'round
that doesn't work. "Kim" wrote: Just purchased new Office and old Excel ('97) spreadsheets need to be converted - can't be opened! |

If you're using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the
Office Plugin that comes with it. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How to use Office programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more information. Kim wrote: Just purchased new Office and old Excel ('97) spreadsheets need to be converted - can't be opened! |

Interesting - I had Norton/Symantec on my old system (I just bought a new PC
and had my old drive installed) but Norton isn't enabled right now - I have a free copy of AVG running, though...

There is no reason why your 97 files cannot be opened in 2003 (or 2000 or
XP, come to that). Are you sourcing the file from a server or stand-alone PCs? Do you still have your old system? Can you still open the file on it? If we are talking about stand-alone machines ... What is the file size on your old system? What is the file size when you copy it to your new system? How did you transfer the files? -- Andy Wiggins FCCA www.BygSoftware.com Excel, Access and VBA Consultancy - "Kim" wrote in message ...
