I had a real scare earlier this week because of a project the I am collaborating
on with some other people. I have Office 97 and another team member has 2002 or
something. The client has Office 97 so I am leaving mine as is. Anyway, he sent
me a file that he says he had saved as as 97, but every time I went to save it,
I got that warning message about lost features, no matter what if I said yes, or
no and re-saved under another name, it just kept coming back. Then later while I
was working in VBA I suddenly got a "catastrophic failure" which set me back
hours. I took all the worksheets and carefully pasted them into a brand new
workbook, and in VBA created new modules and pasted the source code in there.
Only then did I feel confident, and lo, there have been no more catastrophes.
But my question to all the knowledgeable people out there is: what is the best
way to handle this situation? How can my partner get the "save as" to truly
"save as"? I don't want to give it to the client that way, with a disturbing
message at the end of each use.
Thank You,
