I have a process where a user clicks on a book, a perl script dishes th
book to the user, replacing an environment parm with a variable. Whe
the book opens "Auto_open" code reads the parm variable then does a we
query (using the variable) and returns data back to the excel book.

This all worked fine with this combo (IE 5.0, Excel 2000, and Window
2000), but customers with Windows XP can't open the Excel book withou
receiving a syntax error because the parm wasn't replaced correctl
after being dished from the perl script.

I found an XP machine, then saved my Excel book as XP and it works fin
for the XP users and not the Win2000. I am perplexed and can't fin
any clue.

Thanks
