The original file came from my future daughter-in-law and is titled guest-list-weddingchannel.csv.


I can make modifications but cannot save them.

Make sure you traverse to the correct folder (where you want to store the .xls
file) when you do the File|SaveAs command.

Then next time, you can use File|open to open it.

In some versions of excel, you have to open the file via file|open for it to
show up at the bottom of the File menu.

Dave,

Thanks, that was the problem. I was saving it to a CSV file and then
couldn't find it when I went back to it. After several attempts I was able
to save it to the .XLS file.

Thanks,

Dave McCuen
