Excel97 Question??
I am running Excel97. I have attempted to run several applications from more recent versions, and with each I get an error message: file format not valid. Is there anything to do to get around this problem?? Thanks Quinncom -- Quinncom ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quinncom's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28374 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=479666 |

Excel97 Question??
Is the file corrupted? Can it be opened in newer Excels now? As Peo says
Excel 97 and all later versions to date use the same file format (Known as BIFF8 to the cognoscenti). I've never seen a case personally where Excel 97 rejected an XLS file from a newer Excel. If you think the file is okay I'd like to see it if you can send it to me. -- Jim "Quinncom" wrote in message ... | | I am running Excel97.
