new excell will not read old excell file
What versions of Excel are involved? XL2007 can read and write both
the new formats (xlsm, xlsx, xlsb) and the old format (xls). Unless you have the Office Compatibility Pack (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/924074/en-us) installed, XL2003 can read only xls files -- it cannot read the new file versions. Since 2003 has no knowlege of the new formats, it assume the file is corrupted. Of course, a file created in XL2007 can be saved in 2007 into the 2003 format and that file will work in 2003.
