I use Windows XP home edition and Microsoft Office 97.
Excel has suddenly started truncating the file name to the first letter of the file name. What do i need to do to correct the position? -- Geoff |

Check to see if Excel is running in Windows 95 compatibility mode.
There was a post that said: When I disabled compatibility mode the file name problem went away. http://google.com/groups?threadm=020...0a% 40phx.gbl And maybe this will help: HOW TO: Use Windows Program Compatibility Mode in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;292533 Geoff Porter wrote: I use Windows XP home edition and Microsoft Office 97.

This has worked for lots of people (I've never had the problem, however).
I'd try it once more. Geoff Porter wrote: Thanks for the suggestion Dave. I have tried it but it did not work. Thanks Geoff "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...
