PC-created files used on a Mac - Problems
 

Hi all,

I have created a number of files that have proven problematic for one of my
end-users. In particular, drop lists using Data Validation disappear.

Any clues?

What version of MacXL?

MacXL98, 2001, v.X and 2004 all use exactly the same file format as
WinXL 97/00/02/03.

All those versions of MacXL handle Data Validation drop down lists, so
you'll need to provide more information about the validation...

Recipient is using Excel for Mac 2004 (version 11.1.1)
I'm using Excel 2004

Rather doubt this helps... in the meantime, I'll try to actually see the
problem first hand.

Thanks.

If you're both using XL04, I'm not sure what the problem would be. Make
sure both versions are updated...

Sorry... I'm using 2003
