Batch conversion of XP files to 97 files
Is anyone aware of a tool to convert multiple Excel XP files into an earlier
version? |

The fileformat for xl97, xl2k, xl2002 and xl2003 are all the same.
xl97 should be able to open the file. But if there were features used that were added after xl97, then they wouldn't be available in xl97. (But opening should work fine.) AG wrote: Is anyone aware of a tool to convert multiple Excel XP files into an earlier version? -- Dave Peterson |

Thanks Dave, I must have been suffering from a €śsenior moment.€ť
I have many macros written in Excel 5 format, so I keep a copy of that version along with Excel 97 on a backup machine. But I loaded xl5 after xl97 so my file association switched to xl5 and when I tried to open an XP version, I got an invalid format message. I forgot I needed to change my primary files association back to xl97. "AG" wrote: Is anyone aware of a tool to convert multiple Excel XP files into an earlier version? |
